FEATURES
The 2019 Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is a powerful and structured expression from a warm vintage, yet it maintains a vibrant character. Robert Chevillon is widely regarded as one of Burgundy's top addresses, known for their dedication to old vines, cultivated soils, moderate yields, and long fermentations. Despite yields being about 50% below average in 2019, the quality of the wines was exceptional, offering more vibrancy and structural refinement than the excellent 2018s. This Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes sees around 20% new oak and is built to age, capable of rewarding up to a decade of cellaring. 【Powerful, structured, and vibrant expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges from old vines】.
🍴 Tasting Notes: This wine presents dense aromas of black cherry, plum, earth, and hints of wood and sauvage. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with powdery tannins and lively acids. Expect ripe, concentrated black fruit, sweet tannins, and flavors of wild berries, smoked meats, orange rind, and rich soil tones. Some reviewers also note black cherry and raspberry fruit with blood orange and allspice.
🥂 Food Pairing: This robust Nuits-Saint-Georges is an excellent companion for hearty meat dishes. It pairs beautifully with beef, veal, and various game meats such as deer and roe deer. Consider it with roasted lamb, coq au vin, or a rich mushroom and truffle dish.
🎉 Event Suggestions: An ideal choice for a sophisticated dinner, a special celebration, or for those looking to cellar a fine Burgundy. This wine will benefit from a few years in bottle to fully integrate and express its complexities, or a good decanting if enjoyed in its youth.
