Domaine Robert CHEVILLON (Nuits-Saint-Georges) -- 2018 Tasted from Barrel and a 2017 Tasted from Bottle

Please see my overview of the vintage here.

Bertrand Chevillon said that in Cailles, Vaucrains, and Les Saint-Georges, losses from hail were about 20-30% with Les Saint-Georges being the worst hit.

Harvesting began on 5 September and finished around 14-15 September. Alcohols are around 14º with 14.2º at the maximum. As usual, all grapes were destemmed, 30% new oak. Malo-lactic fermentations finished for the village wine in February and in spring for the premiers crus. Bertrand said that he would bottle as late as possible.

As a group, these wines were on the riper side of the vintage in style, but not over the line for my tastes. (Continue reading here.)
