  • [TN] 2012 Chevillon NSG VV

    Last night, Jean and I had our first dinner at home after returning Andy
    to college. A couple of duck breasts were defrosted and pan-seared with
    rice and a simple veggie stir-fry. The wine chosen to accompany this
    meal was the 2012 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges Vielles Vignes.
    Recent posts on Celltracker had suggested that it was ready to drink,
    and they were correct. It was a dark ruby with distinct bricking at the edges. The nose was quite floral and earthy and the mouthfeel was silky
    and light on the palate, with vivid acidity and plenty of fruit.

    I don't drink as much Chevillon as a I used to (escalating prices), but
    this wine reminded me why I do drink Chevillon.

    Prices are up, hard to buy. But Chevillon is my largest grower holding in Burg (after negoces Drouhin and Jadot). Hard to remember any disappointing bottles.
    BTW, NPR Marketplace had interesting segment on Waterville today.
