  • 2008 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru (12/30/2014)
    Vibrant aroma, not red, but more dark fruited - blackberry, blueberry, and black boy peach. Finely structured on the palate - savoury and vinous with a touch of bitterness though nicely balanced with light lingering fruit sweetness. Fine tannins pull the wine together resulting in a near perfectly, reserved, well defined wine. (92 pts.)

Sounds great Mike. Do you think some of those 2008s are now starting to open up?

Happy New Year to you and Cathy.

Cheers, Howard

Hi Howard,

Not had many, but this is drinking well… still I think it is a keeper as the balance is there. Happy New Year to you and Kim, Cathy is on call till the 8th but we should get together, are you around this weekend - 3rd or 4th?

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, sounds great. I’m free on the 3rd.

Cheers, Howard

5

and Kim? See you here on the 3rd. Any wine theme you would like? Cheers Mike

6

Hi Mike, I’ve just emailed you.

Cheers, Howard

Any other berserkers in the area welcome? Easy invite when you live at the end of the world…

Wayne can get on a plane. He just emailed me today about 2013 Burgundies, so I’m sure he’d be keen! [wow.gif]

9

Do you actually have any 2013 Burgs ?

10

No Wayne, apart from the odd Chablis. The 2013 F Esmonins, always the earliest and available on en primeur, are not too far away though. Mike has some nice older ones though …

11

If F Esmonin is reviewed well I probably will buy a few. Always good value. Has Maude offered a price?

12

Right, I’m with you now Howard, I will see what I can do. As you know I will go a long way for a good bottle of burgundy.

13

Good grief. Are you folks trying to qualify for this thread before the New Year closes?

Timely note.
Was thinking of opening one tonight, but thought to give it more years.

Hey, Mike. I’m here, quietly lurking in the background, and I would love to join you. Met Howard and some of the other gang members a few weeks back. I’ll send PM.

Thanks for the intelligence, Mike. I have a few of these.

To keep the thread drift going nicely for Drew …

Good to hear from you Barbara. You should post more here!

Mike, yes they are available EP on Maude’s site. I have not yet seen any reviews but Neal Martin may have some. Edit: I just checked, no NM reviews of '13 FEs.

Cheers, Howard

They may be in Part Two of Neal’s Burgundy 2013 report which is due to be published on Friday…Saturday NZ time.

Cheers. Wayne

Nice note on the wine.

Chuckle. Thanks for the note, Mike, continues to bolster my decision to re-evaluate this vintage. Hard to find any here, though.

Kwa Heri,

Mike
