FEATURES
🏰 The 1995 vintage in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, was characterized by a challenging start but a generous finish, yielding grapes with balanced acidity and concentrated flavors. While some consider it a difficult vintage, it has proven capable of producing excellent wines that reward patience. Robert Chevillon's Nuits Saint Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru 1995 is a testament to this, showcasing a luminous and fairly sustained ruby color. From its youth, it captivated with charm, freshness, and fruitiness, evolving into a complex profile. Expect notes of fresh fruit, a hint of vanilla, wild cherry, rosewood, and old rose, intertwined with fine liquorice and spicy scents. Over time, it develops tertiary aromas like raspberry, cranberry, red apple, cedar, mushrooms, blood, rusty nails, dark fruits, ferrous, sanguine, sous-bois, black cherry, minerals, and forest floor. This wine consistently offers volume, airy fullness, and a silky texture, all enhanced by a persistent freshness. 【One of Robert Chevillon's most elegant and complete Premier Cru wines】.
Serving Advice: For a wine of this age, handle with care. The cork and capsule may be fragile, so consider using a Durand or Ah-So opener. Stand the bottle upright for several days before serving to allow any sediment to settle. A gentle decant for 30-60 minutes can help remove sediment and allow the wine to open up, but monitor it closely to ensure it doesn't fade. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as roast duck breast, goose, or other game birds. It also complements veal with wild mushrooms, herb-roasted pork loin, and rich beef preparations. For cheese, consider aged Comté and Gruyère.
🥂 The 1995 Robert Chevillon Les Cailles is a superb choice for a sophisticated dinner party or a quiet evening of contemplation. It's a wine for discerning palates who appreciate the nuanced evolution of mature Pinot Noir, making it ideal for celebrating milestones or enjoying a luxurious meal.
