TN: 2007 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles

  • 2007 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru (2/18/2012)
    Popped and poured, then consumed over about 3 hours. Bright ruby color. Nose of mulberry, black plum, dark spices, earth, forest floor. Muscular but almost juicy layers of black raspberry and smoky black plum on the palate with notes of game, brambles, and iron. Fresh and tart with acidity; tannins stern but nicely balanced by loads of primary fruit. Long, ringing finish of grippy dark fruit and minerals. Really excellent and full of life. Could age for years but drinking so well now it would be a shame to miss this exuberant phase. (92 pts.)
