Robert Chevillon - Nuits-St.-Georges Les Cailles 2018
A View from the Cellar: 93 Points
Usually the “Big Three” at Domaine Chevillon are the best wines in the cellars, but this distinction is not quite so clear cut in 2018, as all three of these vineyards, to some degree, were peripherally affected by the hail in July. It is not that the les Cailles is less pure than the wines that preceded it, but perhaps it is a bit more chewy and tannic. The black fruity bouquet is deep, very pure and sappy but also quite powerful, offering up scents of black cherries, black raspberries, plums, venison, a good base of soil, woodsmoke, chocolate and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is ripe, powerful and broad-shouldered, with a rock solid core of fruit, firm, chewy tannins, good acids and a very, very long, youthful and promising finish.
