Robert Chevillon, Nuits St Georges, Les Bousselots 2018
Received in Original Carton
Anthony Lynch, importer of Domaine Robert Chevillon, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
Happy days in Burgundy, this vintage was! The seasons were ideal—no spring frosts, no summer hail, no heat waves, no disease, beautiful harvest, no sorting, strong yields, great concentration, full wineries, happy vignerons, and happy clients! That’s quite a list. The 2018 vintage was certainly the last time in Burgundy you could tick off all those boxes (though fingers are crossed for 2022, which, as of this writing, is so far so good).
I would go big on the 2018s—classic Burgundy and, more specifically here, classic Chevillon (speak to one of our friendly staff for more 2018 Chevillon selections). Their 2018 Bousselots has an inviting earthiness, a chewy texture, and a long, perfumed finish. It’s still delicate, a bit reserved, and yet leaves little doubt of the greatness to come.

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots is also showing very well, soaring from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of raspberries, black truffles, dark chocolate, rich soils tones and a deft framing of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and broad-shouldered, its ample core of fruit is girdled by succulent acids and powdery tannin. (WK) 01/2020
