Tasting notes
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of brambly red fruit, sous-bois , pencil shavings and crushed stone. The oak is beautifully assimilated and it "reeks" of Pinot Noir rather than the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with filigree tannins, a killer line of acidity and wonderful sapidity on the finish. Yes, there is a patina of oak to be subsumed, but it will evolve into one of the finest Nuits Saint-Georges of the 2019 vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles was one of the more reserved wines in the range when I visited, unwinding in the glass with notes of plums, rose petals, sweet berries, orange rind and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with terrific depth and concentration, beautifully refined tannins and lively acids, it's very promising.
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of dark cherries, violet petals and crushed stone; the oak is seamlessly integrated in this cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh, leading to a slightly savory finish. Complex and energetic, this is one of the standouts from Chevillon this vintage.
