"The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a sublime bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, sous-bois and light rose petal aromas, very harmonious and sophisticated; a light sea cave aroma emerges after a couple of minutes. The palate is well balanced with fine-grained tannins, taut and fresh, with a light marine influence and perhaps more salinity than the other Premier Crus on the finish. This has enormous potential. Denis Chevillon was on hand to guide me through the very impressive follow-up to their outstanding 2018s as this domaine consolidates its position as the yardstick for the appellation. (His elusive brother Bertrand is always busy somewhere else in the winery.) ‘We started the picking on 17 September with the Les Perrière and Roncières and finished on 25 September,’ Chevillon told me. ‘We had only around half the crop because of the lack of juice caused by the frost, poor flowering and the heat during the summer. Everything is de-stemmed and the Premier Cru aged in 30% new oak. The wines will be bottled next March.’ Everything is pretty straightforward at Chevillon and the result is consistently gorgeous, fruit-driven, complex wines that stylistically remind me of Grivot in Vosne-Romanée. As usual, the Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains both excelled and had their noses further ahead than other Premier Crus. The only question mark hung over the Les Roncières that displayed suspect over-ripeness and might have benefitted from picking one or two days earlier. That aside, it is full-steam ahead for Chevillon."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2019 in Burgundy combined spring frost and summer drought to cut yields, producing concentrated yet balanced wines; the reds are ripe and structured with retained freshness, making an excellent, ageworthy vintage in both colors.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
