Sweetly ripe, lightly-cooked red raspberry, vanilla, and cocoa powder scent Chevillon's 2006 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chaignots displays overt ripeness and rounded richness on the palate, augmented by suggestions of resin, tar, and licorice. Here, however - very much in keeping with the character that this site exhibits time and again, here and other addresses - a sense of chalky, saline, iodine-like mineral inflections enters in, along with just enough fresh fruit and fruit skin edge to lend invigoration to its sustained finish.
