The palate is much better with sour lemon and quince on the entry

silky tannins add to the wine's considerable raciness

is illuminating

the fruit is often sensational

This is also still very much on the way up and while the excellent level of dry extract would allow this to be enjoyed now

Robert Chevillon, Nuits Saint Georges Chaignots other_regions_italy The palate is much better(a blend of 60 and 40 year old vines). Deeper register aromas of earthy but spicy dark berry fruits and a touch of animale leads to serious, dense and relatively powerful flavors that culminate in a dusty, mouth coating and admirably persistent finish. This doesnt have the style of the Bousselots but its appealing in its way. Its interesting how these two vineyards, which abut one another, give completely different results. (89 91) 2012+
