1996 Nuits St Georges Les Bousselots

This wine may be the finest wine Chevillon has crafted from this little-known premier cru vineyard. It reveals a medium-to-dark ruby color and rich scents of plump red fruits. This feminine, supple, focused, medium-to-full-bodied offering has dense layers of ripe red and black berries that last throughout its admirable finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
