(BH92-95 points) A discreet application of wood easily allows the ultra-pure and fresh aromas of essence of red currant, spice and soft earth aromas to have center stage. The detailed and almost painfully intense middle weight plus flavors display more evident minerality with the same excellent focused power of the best of these wines, all wrapped in a balanced, serious and equally built-to-age finale. Unlike the Les Cailles that could be approached young, I would suggest that you not buy this absent the express intent to cellar it for at least a decade. 2029+

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les St-Georges has a clean and pure bouquet; although at the moment, there appears to still be some new oak to be subsumed. But I like the sensuality of these aromatics that are more 2015 in style than 2014. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening: dark cherries, allspice, a pinch of white pepper and a slightly herbaceous, verbena tea-tinged finish that gently fans out. Quintessential, modern-day Chevillon really—superb. Tasted September 2017. - Neal Martin
