2015 Domaine Robert Chevillon, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Les Vaucrains 1x750ml

Vinous 93-95

Bright ruby-red. Liqueur-like ripeness to the aromas of kirsch, cassis and dark chocolate. Juicy and powerful but tightly coiled and imploded; the densest but most clenched of these 2015s today. Finishes powerfully tannic and very long, with an emerging touch of sweetness and lovely violet lift. Like the Cailles and Saint-Georges, this fruit was picked at about 13% potential alcohol.

Robert Parker 93

The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains has a sophisticated bouquet, very pure, a mixture of red and black fruit that are beautifully defined. There is disarming purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannin. There are layers of red berry fruit laced with white pepper and a hint of marmalade, an edgy bitterness towards the finish that lends wonderful tension and the length that is just outstanding. Pick of the bunch for me this year, and a wine that I expect to land at the top of my banded score once in bottle. [Neal Martin, 09/28/2017]
