Reluctantly, Bertrand Chevillon opened one bottle of his family’s 2000s, and it was wonderful. The medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains bursts from the glass with coffee-infused blackberries and spices. Plump, lush, and juicy, this medium to full-bodied, silky-textured wine slathers the palate with supple, jammy black fruits, mocha, and spices. Seamless, friendly, and packed with fruit, it is a generous, forward offering that will deliver copious pleasure if drunk over the next 5-6 years.
