Domaine Robert Chevillon Les Bousselots, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France 2021

Les Bousselots 2021 is a classic, beautifully structured expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru from one of the Côte de Nuits' benchmark domaines. Sourced from a 0.60-hectare parcel of 40+ year-old vines, the wine shows enticing aromas of red and black fruits, blackberry, rose petal, bergamot, spice, and subtle earth, followed by a lively, concentrated palate with pronounced saline minerality and firm, refined tannins. The 2021 vintage brings excellent freshness and energy, while the wine's muscular structure suggests it will reward patience in the cellar. A serious, age-worthy Burgundy that offers tremendous insight into the powerful yet elegant character of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

"The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots offers up aromas of sweet red fruits, blackberries, spices, rose petals and bergamot, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and impressively concentrated palate that's a touch more muscular than the sensual Chaignots." Wine Advocate 90-93
