Potentially Chevillon's finest 1996, this dark-colored wine (if Nuits were ever to have a vineyard elevated to grand cru status this would be the one) had an unyielding yet floral nose the day of my tasting. It is a full-bodied, richly-fruited, complex, concentrated, intense, and profound wine. Dense and yet focused waves of blackberries, brambleberries, cherries, and boysenberries are intricately laced with Asian spices, minerals, and stones. Projected maturity: 2003-2010+. This offering is fabulous! Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
