Great Back Vintage Buy - 2020 Chevillon
Domaine Robert Chevillon needs little introduction as the wines speak solidly for themselves. I am constantly amazed at how well these bottles hold up in Burgundy lineups, and how they develop intensity with age. As Chevillon has established itself as a benchmark reference for Nuits-Saint-Georges, the quality is represented across all bottles. As William Kelley himself proclaims, "this is one of my favorite addresses in all of Burgundy. Old vines, cultivated soils, moderate yields and long fermentations with entirely destemmed grapes are the order of the day at this address" - Wine Advocate, Jan 2022
I recently snapped up a few back vintage bottlings from 2020 with great press and even better prices. The Nuits Saint Georges VV bottling which really hits the sweet spot in terms of price and quality. These 50+ year old vines see a light dose of new oak after being fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and vibrancy! Then 1er Cru Ronciere is a tiny vineyard located Southwest of the village, mid-slope, and sitting between Pruliers and Clos des Porrets Saint Georges, and the 2020 shaped up to be a stunning example.
2020 Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes - BH 89-92
"This cuvee is mostly from La Charmotte and Au Chouillet, with bits and pieces from Aux Saints Jacques, Les Charmois, Les Maladieres, Les Chaliots and Les Brulees plus a few others too small to mention. Outstanding Top Value - Dark berry fruit coulis is laced with notes of earth and spice. The delicious middle weight flavors possess excellent punch before culminating in a sleek, intense and only mildly rustic finale. This is an excellent Nuits villages and very much worth your attention." - Burghound, Issue 85
2020 Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Ronciere - VM 92-94, BH 92-94
"From a 1.0 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines. Sweet Spot Outstanding - Pungent aromas of reduction and wood serve as a pungent introduction to the sleek, intense and velvet-textured middle weight flavors that are at once powerful yet refined before terminating in a strikingly long, balanced and complex finale. This youthfully austere effort is terrific and is potentially one of the best examples of this wine Chevillon has ever made." - Burghound, Issue 85
