Robert Chevillon, Nuits Saint Georges Ronciere Vintage:2013 lemon grass and acacia blossom

lemon grass and acacia blossom precede highly energetic and more mineral-driven if less concentrated and powerful middle weight flavors that possess a highly refined and sophisticated texture

punch and mid-palate density to the muscular flavors that are also quite firmly structured but even so there is less youthful austerity than is typical for Clos de Vougeot

(from Ez Folatières near Truffières)

Is this an attempt at a Guigal ‘La La’ style

Robert Chevillon, Nuits Saint Georges Ronciere Vintage:2013 lemon grass and acacia blossom(45 year old vines). Here the lateness of the malos is in evidence as the nose is almost raw with traces of fermentation aromas and reduction though the medium plus weight flavors are detailed, racy and offer more minerality than usual. I tried this from several different barrels, including one from a new barrel that was further developed and the material is impressive and its possible that my score could be conservative.
