2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes

Allen Meadows' Burghound: Enough wood to notice is present on the more elegant red and dark cherry, spice and lavender scented nose. There is fine richness to the more refined yet even more concentrated and powerful flavors that culminate in very firmly structured, balanced and persistent finish. Like the Gevrey, this is an unusually good wine for its level and is highly recommended provided you can allow it at least some cellar time. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2017

Vinous: (the Lecheneauts get this fruit from 72-year-old vines on the Vosne-Romanée side of the village through a fermage arrangement): Bright, moderately saturated dark red. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, dusty spices and licorice. Juicy, primary and quite youthful but with surprising texture and inner-mouth spicy lift. This shows a lighter touch and is easier to taste today than the basic village Nuits. Finishes broad and chocolatey, with chewy tannins. - Stephen Tanzer, Jan. 2017
