2008 Nuits St Georges Les St Georges

More sedate and sweetly-fruited than the other wines in its immediate family, the Chevillon 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les St.-Georges displays ripe purple plum and dark cherry; peat and crushed stone; and concentrated red meat juices on an almost plush palate, though one underlain with abundant, fine tannin and laced with enlivening fresh fruit. There is a seamless sense of density and authoritative length here, and while the sheer exuberance and lip-smacking savor found in a couple of the most impressive Chevillon 2008s is missing, I imagine this St.-Georges saying “I’ve got time … see you in 15 or 20 years, if you can keep up!” Jun 2010, www.robertparker.com
