The 2020 Nuits old vine bottling is excellent chez Chevillon. The bouquet is beautifully pure and sappy, jumping from the glass in a mix of black cherries, plums, dark chocolate, a touch of nutskin, gamebird, a fine base of soil tones and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and shows off plenty of mid-palate depth, with lovely focus and grip, tangy acids, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and very well-balanced finish. This is outstanding villages Nuits, but it will need some time to soften up its tannins.
