Chevillon-Chezeaux, Nuits Saint Georges CrotsNA

Dry and a bit tense after it sat in the glass for an hour

cool and expressive nose exhibits a touch of herbal tea character on the high-toned red berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with soft earth and spice wisps

broad and powerful

(from vines planted in 1902)

Here too there is just enough wood to notice on the much spicier and sauvageinflected nose of red currant

A more reticent nose timidly offers up note of resin

this will be better with at least 7-9 years in the cellar

and it finishes very long

(from Montmains proper and vinified in stainless but raised in wood)

lilac and rose petal along with notes of dark currant

Just as it was last year

roasted herbs
