Robert Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges Les Vaucrains 2005 is a medium-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Premier Cru climat of Les Vaucrains in the Nuits-St-Georges appellation of the Côte de Nuits. Domaine Robert Chevillon is a family-owned property currently managed by the two brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon. The Domaine is known for having older vines in three of its Premier Cru vineyards, Les Cailles, Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains, where this expression comes from. "Of all the Chevillon wines, their 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains (like their Cailles and Les St.-Georges, from roughly 80-year-old vines) displays the greatest density, stoniest minerality, most piquant nuttiness, and deepest, darkest, blackberry and beet root `fruit` character. The overall impression is breath-taking in its sheer concentration, yet rather sombre and brooding in personality, with an emphasis on piquancy, bitterness and stoniness. Toasted walnut and hickory, cherry pits, black chocolate, stones, and charred meat inform this wine’s powerful, penetrating finish. Were it not for a persistent primary blackberry juiciness and the great refinement of its abundant tannins, this would border on the hyper-concentrated." Wine Advocate, 2007

Vinous
- Good full ruby-red. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and leather; a bit less minerally and floral than the Saint-Georges. Powerful, brooding and large-scaled on the palate but currently locked up tight and showing less sweetness than the Saint-Georges. But this big boy really saturates the palate. With its serious tannic clout and leathery soil tones, this is classic Nuits-Saint-Georges.
