Robert Chevillon, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Blanc Vieilles Vignes

Doft: outsp�dd �pplejuice och vin�ger. Smak: l�tt, mineralrik till en b�rjan med citron och hint av stenfrukt. Avslutningen �r mer kraftfull, lite stram och koncentrerad med juicekoncentrat och vin�ger (�ven h�r), men fortfarande med en viss elegans. Lite f�r lite kropp, men annars �r detta ett fascinerande och eget vin p� alla s�tt. Gillar!

A lightly darker, but not oxidized or oxidative, profile is a giveaway this is not chardonnay. Orchard fruits with a nice spine of acidity. Good wine, but the somewhat short finish is a giveaway for it's village status. Better with food.

This was prabaly flawed. Tasted more like sherry than a white Burgondy from a good year.

Medium golden color; white truffle, almond, marzipan nose; lightly oxidative, almond, white truffle, mineral, lightly oily textured, baked lemon palate; medium-plus finish

Chevillon Vaucrains vertical 1979-2004 (RSJ, London) : Big, opulent, the fruit a bit tropical, a lick of oak, some almond paste lushness and a touch of sulphur adding bite - really delicious

I've worked in wine for a number of years now, and the fact that I can only describe this bottle heuristically through its resemblance to more conventional wines will hopefully convey what a perplexing, singular creature this is. Decanted for several hours before drinking. Aromatically this would have had me guessing Chenin Blanc in a heartbeat: waxy, floral, just a hint of mustiness. You could have told me a top cru in Savennieres and I wouldn't have doubted for an …

Taste at Elysian. Not too impresed. High acidity showing very light tropical and some lemon zest notes. Quite light bodied. Just not a whole lot of substance as a whole. Palate falls short. Not too much going on aromatically either. Dissapointing.

Something onthe nose that recalls tasting wines during malo... Better on the palte, with pear, citrus, honey and caramel. This is a ??? for me, based on the nose. Might try another bottle in a couple months to see if it has come around, as, in general, I have faith in this producer...
