(92-94 points) The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Roncieres ler Cru, which was affected by hail, had just a small reduction on the nose. The palate is easier to read with attractive, quite tensile red cherry and blueberry fruit. The oak is nicely integrated here and there is a sorbet-like freshness on the finish that has plenty of joie-de-vivre. It's a wine that almost says...what hail?

(91-93 points) There was a later malolactic here and there is still a touch of reduction thereafter. Dark black colour with purple rim. Definitely a reductive nose. The fruit pulls out very nicely behind with raspberry and strawberry, the tannins are barely toughened by either hail or reduction. Long finish.

(91 - 93 points) Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, warm spices, woodsmoke and petals, Chevillon's 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Roncières is medium to full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with an enveloping core of fruit, ripe, powdery tannins and lively balancing acids.- WK
