The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with warm spices, baking chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's gourmand and dramatic, with lively acids and ample reserves of powdery tannin.

After the more reserved Les Cailles, I was taken aback by the expressiveness of Chevillon's exquisite 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges. Bursting with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, peonies, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and elegant, with superb depth at the core, ultra-refined tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges is also showing brilliantly, mingling aromas of dark berry fruit, plums and cherries with nuances of baking chocolate, rich soil tones and subtle carnal nuances. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and muscular, with real concentration and substance. This is a lively, sapid, broad-shouldered Les Saint-Georges that will be very long lived.

The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges is a stunning wine in the making, soaring from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of cassis, violets, wild plums, wood smoke and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with serious reserves of beautifully refined structuring tannin and concentrated fruit, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This is a stunning wine from the Chevillon brothers which could hold its own against most of the C?te de Nuits' grands crus this year.
