2002 Domaine Robert Chevillon, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Les Vaucrains 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92-94

The 2002 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains bursts from the glass with immensely spicy aromas of plummy blackberries and cherries. Intense, inky, and focused, its medium to full-bodied personality is somewhat backward yet hugely deep, ripe, and concentrated. Licorice, black cherries, tar, and hyper-ripe blackberries are found throughout its lengthy personality. [Pierre Rovani, 01/06/2004]

Vinous 91-94

Bright red-ruby. Extremely tight nose dominated by sweet oak and a note of chocolate. Rich, sweet and full but youthfully reticent. A very rich, complete Nuits wine with rather powerful flavors of cassis and chocolate and substantial tannins. This will call for seven or eight years of cellaring. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2004]
