2016 Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux Nuits-Saint-Georges

Tasting note Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux

French red wine with the delicate scent of fresh ripe cherries. The taste is elegantly refined and fresh. Beautiful burgundy with lamb or beef but also for example with magret de canard or fine feathered game.

Description

The almost 9-hectare Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux is energetically run by Philippe Chezeaux married to Claire Chevillon now the fifth generation since 1887. Philippe's talent for viticulture and vinification translates into elegant elegant red burgundy. The grapes for the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation gets Philippe from four different parcels on both sides of Meuzin valley that penetrates the Côtes de Nuits from the higher hills. That means a predominantly loamy soil type mixed with large and small stones. The pinot noir gets a fine structure and a lot of aroma on such soils. The craftsmanship of Philippe ensures that these properties are very recognizable in his wine.
