From the Vosne-Romanee end of Nuits-St-Georges. Red, spicy fruit, fresh and quite juicy. Under notes of earth and flowers. Chevillon-Chezeaux's Bousselots is always textured in the mouth and the 2017 is no exception. Combines elements of Nuits and Vosne very successfully.

Subtle hints of menthol and wood toast can be found on the spicy liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry and cassis. There is once again fine verve and delineation to the stony medium weight flavors that deliver very good length if less complexity on the very firmly structured finale. This may well surprise to the upside if it can add more depth with time in bottle, which it definitely needs. (Drink starting 2030)
