Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots 2018

Robert Chevillon’s 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is a finely structured Pinot Noir from one of the appellation’s recognised Premier Cru sites. The 2018 vintage brings generous fruit to the savoury, firm-edged character associated with Nuits-Saint-Georges, while Les Chaignots’ position near the northern end of the appellation gives the wine a distinctive expression of place.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour, with aromas of ripe red and dark berries, cherry and subtle floral notes, alongside hints of spice and earth. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, with supple fruit, savoury complexity and a firm framework of fine tannins. With careful cellaring, the wine should develop further layers of forest-floor, dried-herb and spice character. It can be enjoyed now with some aeration or kept for several more years; its precise evolution will depend on storage conditions and the bottle.

Production
Les Chaignots lies in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, where limestone-rich soils and clay contribute to the balance of fruit and structure typical of the area. This is a Pinot Noir from the 2018 vintage. Specific details of the harvest, vineyard work and vinification for this bottling have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast duck, lamb, grilled or roasted mushrooms, or a slow-cooked beef dish. A brief decant of 30–60 minutes can help open the wine, particularly if serving it young; older bottles are best handled gently and may need only a short time in the glass.
