Note di degustazione
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet. The oak is better integrated than Gouges's Les Saint-Georges, hence there is superior delineation and more typicité and brightness. The palate is velvety smooth with fine acidity. There is a veneer of new oak (François Frères?) that needs to be assimilated, though it has panache, and there is admirable persistence on the finish. Again, like many of its peers in the northerly part of the appellation, there is an opulence that might be off-putting for those seeking "classic Burgundy,” but it is undeniably well balanced and seductive. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains opens in the glass with notes of plums, dark berry fruit and cassis mingled with aromas of espresso roast, dark chocolate, rich soil tones and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and muscular, it's built around chalky tannins and lively acids. As usual, this is the most overtly built for the long haul of all Chevillon's wines, and it will require the most patience.
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru, which was the final Premier Cru poured by Chevillon, has a very harmonious, feminine bouquet of pure morello cherry mixed with blueberry and crushed limestone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, demonstrating a little more linearity than the Les Saint-Georges, though there is a tad more oak to be subsumed on the finish at the moment. Still, this typifies the quality of Vaucrains and it should age well over the next 20–25 years.
