2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Chaignots Robert Chevillon, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Chaignots, Robert Chevillon

The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is superb, bursting with expressive aromas of cherries, violets, bergamot and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple with a layered core that entirely cloaks its fine structuring tannins in succulent fruit. This is an elegant, open-knit Chaignots which will offer a broad drinking window. William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Chaignots, Robert Chevillon

The proximity to the southern side of Vosne is in evidence as here the expressive nose of pure red and dark berry scents cut with warm earth is quite spicy. In the same fashion as the nose, there is a lovely texture to the lightly mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that evidence both fine depth and length. I like the balance and there is enough stuffing that this could be approached early but it should also have no trouble amply repay mid-term cellaring. Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Chaignots, Robert Chevillon

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a very well defined, floral bouquet of seductive, elegant red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas, a level up from the Village Cru. The pure, poised palate is medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannin and a light spicy note toward the elegant finish. It reminds me of Mugneret-Gibourg, which is no bad thing in my book. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
