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

Les Chaignots 2021 is a beautifully elegant and expressive Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru from one of the Côte de Nuits' benchmark producers. Les Chaignots sits in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, producing wines that often show a more refined, aromatic character than the appellation's more muscular southern sites. The 2021 vintage brings bright red cherry, raspberry, violet, rose petal, spice, and subtle earthy notes, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and impressive mineral energy. A beautifully balanced Burgundy that combines the depth of Nuits-Saint-Georges with an uncommon sense of finesse and freshness.

"The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is very pretty, bursting with aromas of red berries, coniferous forest floor, peonies and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids and beautifully refined tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window." Wine Advocate 90-93
