Saturday, May 13, 2017 - Really a delicious bottle of wine and pinot of a high order. Attractive on the pour, with airy red and black fruits dominating atop a mineral backbone. With air there are lovely floral notes, framed by iron.

Beautiful silky texutre-this is Nuits, right? Tannins fully integrated, and while they provide a proper backstop, seem almost undetectable. Youthful but with the potential to gain depth and more complexity. Could only be Burgundy. These '10's are so sleek and confident, seamless and alluring.

From what might be among the last cases of wine shipped by Premier Cru before they were arrested. To paraphrase Billy Martin, that guy was both a born liar AND convicted.

Remember, that Chaignots is North of the Village of NSG and closer to Vosne Romanee than the Southern most vineyards of NSG. Thus, in addition to Chevillon execution, the silky character is attributed to being in the Vosne Romanee neighborhood. And at $59.99, or whatever the Premier Cru tariff, you hit the jackpot.

    5/13/2017 8:08:00 PM - Web,III-thanks for the great comment. The Vosne resemblance flashed through my mind and I wish I had had the courage of my convictions to guess at what you confirmed. For the record, the Premier Cru tariff was $39.99 on pre-arrival, which took approximately 2 1/2 years from the initial offering.
