2006 Chevillon Robert Nuits St.Georges Les Chaignots

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Medium. medium-plus colour. A very nice nose, shaded a little more to darker fruit than was the case for the villages. Ripe, very tasty fruit sits with good acidity and a grainy tannin. A little licorice flavour and good length. This is very nice.

Medium colour that fades to a salmon-pink rim. The nose is a mix of sweet, candied fruits and leaves, and slowly takes on a red-fruit dimension. Slowly widens in the mouth, aided by lovely acidity. Still some tannin and slowly lingering flavours. Lovely.

Medium colour. A melange of red fruits on the nose that slowly brings more emphasis to red berry notes. Mouth-filling and showing faint astringency and good acidity. Has the flavour character of a ‘warm vintage’ wine. But is nicely polished.

Plenty of oak still on a nose that narrowly avoids reduction. Where the aromatics don’t involve, the palate delivers more; good dimension set against a furry tannin. Overall this is almost good but no more.

Medium-plus cherry red. The nose starts with an overcoat of plummy fruit, slowly removed to reveal a more earthy black cherry centre. The palate is fat and soft with good acidity and slightly grainy tannin. The fruit is again shaded to black and shows very good length though there is a little bitterness to the lingering fruit. This is certainly what I would describe as modern in style – eminently drinkable even if I’d never guess it was from Nuits!

Dark ruby colour with very little fading. Deep, pronounced nose of primary black cherry. The palate is rich, soft and polished with impressive depth, velvetty tannins and pretty good acidity. At first I thought this was a little short, but it’s not, it’s more a slight hole in the mid-palate. A little too polished and not quite ‘fresh’ enough for further purchases chez Nanson, but could very well be described as ‘hedonistic’ in some circles – perhaps I’m more of a masochist 🙂
