Domaine Robert Chevillon, Bourgogne, Frankring
Beskrivelse:
Neal Martin i The Wine Advocate
This is a fine Bourgogne Rouge: closed on the nose, a little smoky and then revealing some raspberry cheesecake. The palate is simple, sappy, good weight with lively pure red berried and cassis-tinged fruit on the finish. Fine. 88 point

"Producer note: Bertrand Chevillon was frank when he said "late August and September saved us. I honestly don't know what we would have been able to make without them but it probably would not have been very good. Interestingly, we really didn't have all that much sorting work to do and what we did was mostly to eliminate under ripe berries. We began picking on September 1st and brought in fruit that averaged around 12.5% potential alcohol with good phenolic maturities and acidities. We did a normal vinification that lasted about five weeks. By contrast, the malos were extremely long and slow and the wines really didn't take shape until afterwards. As to the style of the wines, they remind me of the 2000s but with even redder fruit profiles, except the Vaucrains and Les Cailles where the fruit runs more toward the black side of the spectrum."
Tasting note: A pretty, even elegant red pinot fruit nose trimmed in a bit of warm earth leads to supple, round and attractively complex middle weight flavors that are really quite forward yet impeccably well balanced."
