The 2019 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges les St Georges is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region and Nuits St Georges appellation. This wine has garnered high praise from multiple respected wine critics, indicating its exceptional quality and potential for aging.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded this wine an impressive score of 96 points. Reviewer WK noted, "After the more reserved Les Cailles, I was taken aback by the expressiveness of Chevillon's exquisite 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges. Bursting with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, peonies, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and elegant, with superb depth at the core, ultra-refined tannins and a long, perfumed finish."
Similarly, Jasper Morris of Inside Burgundy also rated this wine highly with a score of 95 points. He described it as having a "ripe mid purple" color with a bouquet that "offers succulent deep raspberries in some style. Spicy and peppery too, with some energy at the back, all very much integrated and with a superb length of flavour, on the cusp of red and black. Certainly the longest finish to date."
Burghound also gave this wine a stellar 96 points, commenting on its reserved nature that, with some coaxing, reveals "notes of red and black currant, newly turned earth, humus and a subtle spiciness." The review emphasized the wine's long-term aging potential, noting that "even two decades of cellaring might not be quite enough. A definite 'wow' wine!"
Vinous matched these high accolades with another 96 points, praising the wine's "sublime bouquet" that includes "a mixture of red and black fruit, sous-bois and light rose petal aromas, very harmonious and sophisticated." The palate was described as "well balanced with fine-grained tannins, taut and fresh, with a light marine influence and perhaps more salinity than the other Premier Crus on the finish."
In summary, the 2019 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges les St Georges is an exceptional Pinot Noir, lauded for its expressive bouquet, refined tannins, and long, perfumed finish. Each review highlights its superb aging potential, making it a noteworthy addition to any serious wine collector's cellar.
