pomegranate and hints of rose petal

It has all of the Eden Valley hallmarks

strangely making me think of Danish pastry towards the well-defined finish

but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins

Robert Chevillon, Nuits Saint Georges Chaignots other_regions pomegranate and hints of rose(a blend of 60 and 40 year old vines). Deeper register aromas of earthy but spicy dark berry fruits and a touch of animale leads to serious, dense and relatively powerful flavors that culminate in a dusty, mouth coating and admirably persistent finish. This doesnt have the style of the Bousselots but its appealing in its way. Its interesting how these two vineyards, which abut one another, give completely different results. (89 91) 2012+
