The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Bousselots comes from vines on more gravelly, silty soils. As such, it displays more volume and fruité on the nose compared to the 2014 Les Chaignots. This comes out and greets you with open arms with lovely, sumptuous blackberry and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is very precise with fine tannin, black rather than red fruit with blood orange surfacing towards the precise finish, which does not have enormous persistence -- but it has so much freshness and elegance. This is just superb.Inc. TAX€932.14 -

A bit less deep in color than the Chaumes, perhaps simply a matter of the more recent sulfuring. Raspberry, exotic spices and a hint of blood orange on the nose; seems a bit more evolved than the Chaumes. Then suave and silky in the mouth, with lovely delicacy in the middle palate and a slowly mounting finish culminating in a whiplash of flavor. This seems almost ready to bottle.In Bond€383.00 -

The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Bousselots comes from vines on more gravelly, silty soils. As such, it displays more volume and fruité on the nose compared to the 2014 Les Chaignots. This comes out and greets you with open arms with lovely, sumptuous blackberry and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is very precise with fine tannin, black rather than red fruit with blood orange surfacing towards the precise finish, which does not have enormous persistence -- but it has so much freshness and elegance. This is just superb.In Bond€753.00 -

Full fresh purple. A little oak here, matched by plenty of concentrated fruit. There is good tension on the palate, dark raspberry and plums, enough fruit weight. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.In Bond€511.00 -

Saturated, deep ruby-red. Liqueur-like black raspberry, blackberry and licorice aromas retain good freshness. Very large-scaled and dense, with superripe berry, licorice and chocolate flavors offering superb depth and sweetness. Perhaps a bit monolithic and powerful for a wine from this cellar, but obviously youthfully clenched today. The big tannins saturate the teeth. I'd put this away for a decade.In Bond€2,205.00 -

Bright, deep red. Highly nuanced nose offers red raspberry, white pepper, crushed stone, smoke and truffle. Rich and broad but not overly sweet, with good stony reserve and piquant spice and pepper notes framing and lifting the berry and underbrush flavors. A broad and very rich style that's seamless today but serious and built for a slow evolution in bottle. Really saturates the palate with flavor on the aftertaste, finishing with sweet tannins and lovely lingering perfume.In Bond€783.00 -

(racked in July) Deep, bright red. Superripe, complex nose melds berries, violet, damp earth and a whiff of balsamic vinegar. Wonderfully silky and suave on entry, then spicy and pure in the middle, with a very fresh black cherry flavor dominating underlying earth and floral notes. This spreads out impressively on the back end, with broad tannins saturating the palate.In Bond€1,280.00 -

Good dark, bright red. Dark cherry, bitter chocolate and crushed stone on the nose. Broad, dry and refined, with a sweetness leavened by pungent red berry flavors complicated by spices, pepper and earth. Can't match the fruit intensity and freshness of the young 2012 version but the rising finish boasts glistening, sweet tannins and a sound structure for a graceful evolution in bottle.In Bond€1,250.00 -

Good medium red. Refined aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, minerals and violet. Subtle, suave and fine-grained, with dark berry and pungent mineral flavors coming across as utterly seamless yet vigorous. Not a fat wine but wonderfully perfumed, gripping and long. Like a mini-2010 in style, and built for a slow and graceful evolution in bottle.In Bond€930.00 -

The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a very classy and well defined bouquet with pure black cherries, raspberry and light mineral aromas that unfurl from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, very focused with lovely grip and poised, slightly gritty in texture towards the finish but it boasts impressive length. Superb. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.In Bond€1,395.00 -

Les Cailles is one of the Chevillon brothers' best parcels, planted in the 1930s on a stony site next to Les St-Georges. It's an impressive red showing stony minerality, some vanilla spice and more underlying tannin than you think at first. The acidity drives the finish of the wine.In Bond€191.00 -

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of cassis, plums, dark chocolate, grilled squab and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly layered and complete, it's muscular but refined, with a rich chassis of ripe tannin and an ample core of fruit, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.In Bond€672.00
