Tasting notes
Bottled last spring, the 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Village has an attractive nose of black fruit, touches of pain grillé and black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with quite dense red fruit on the entry. Structured and serious for a Village Cru, and there is firm grip on the saline finish. This will require two or three years in bottle.

Aromas of cherries, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and wild berries introduce Chevillon's 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a generous core that's framed by rich, powdery tannins. This is a muscular Nuits that contrasts with its supple, sappy 2017 counterpart.
Cask sample. Deep brownish crimson. Light nose and unusually smooth with some oak notes in evidence. Not for purists, methinks. Just a little too sweet and spicy. (JR)
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Villages has a charming, vivid bouquet of ebullient red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit that bursts from the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy red fruit on the entry. Quite glossy and sweet in style, with tart cherries and blueberry on the playful, energetic finish. Probably one for earlier drinking than, say, the 2015 or 2016 Nuit Saint-Georges Villages.
