The 2009 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains from Domaine Robert Chevillon exemplifies the distinctiveness of Burgundy’s terroir. This Pinot Noir originates from a carefully tended 0.53-hectare plot in the esteemed Les Vaucrains vineyard, characterised by its iron-rich clay-limestone soils. The 2009 growing season yielded concentrated fruit, leading to a wine marked by dark cherry, earthy undertones, and hints of spice. The tannic structure is notably firm and integrated, reflecting the wine`s capacity for ageing. Domaine Robert Chevillon has been family-owned for generations, reinforcing a commitment to traditional winemaking practices.

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Vaucrains is fascinating to taste after Les St. Georges. In 2010 the Vaucrains is more finessed and elegant than the St. Georges, but in 2009 those rules are reversed, as it is the Vaucrains that comes across as far more imposing, inward and structured. Today the Vaucrauins is implosive and seems to be holding back much of its potential. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the fruit through to the tense, wiry finish. The Vaucrains needs to be buried in a deep, cold cellar for several years, perhaps considerably longer, although I am optimist by nature. Anticipated maturity. 2019-2039.

Dark red with ruby tones. The nose shows a darker fruit character than the Saint-Georges, with tangy black cherry, chocolate and crushed stone aromas complicated by game and leather. Large-scaled, liqueur-like and powerful, but less polite than the Saint-Georges, with a distinctly wild leather and meat quality. This broad-shouldered wine boasts a deep sweetness and spreads out impressively on the chocolatey back end. Can't match the Saint-Georges for finesse or perfume but there's enough minerality here to give the wine terrific punch.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2011
