R. Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru 2014 (750ML)

 92-94 BH / 91-93 VM

Note: from a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines
Tasting note: A more elegant and more expressive nose evidences distinctly floral notes to the spicy red and dark currant aromas that possess excellent complexity. I very much like the silky texture of the concentrated and opulent mid-palate of the delicious and equally complex middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the beautifully long and balanced though mildly austere finish. As is usually the case this is built-to-age and will definitely need it. I would add that among the Chevillon big boys though that if you were going to try one young I would suggest this one.—Sweet Spot. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound

Dark red with ruby highlights. Very reticent nose hint sat candied berries and smoky minerals. Then sweet, sappy and brisk on the palate, delivering an exciting balance of sucrosité and mineral-driven acidity. The black raspberry and crushed-stone flavors mount impressively on the long, refined back end. Shows a medicinal reserve that suggests this wine will be a slow developer, but even today the tannins are nicely buffered by fruit.. --Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media
