Benoit Chevalier Nuits St Georges 1er Aux Damodes 2020
William Kelley: “It isn't every day that one finds a promising new talent in Vosne-Romanée, but Benoît Chevallier is just that…Concentrated and characterful, the wines are beautifully structured and show compelling purity of fruit…In short, Chevallier appears to have a bright future ahead of him.”
0.32 hectares planted over a 35% slope. 18-month elevage. 50% new oak. Selection massale. As much Vosne as Nuits which is often the case in Damodes. Very plush, even zoftig, hiding ripe acids that in time will emerge, providing counterpoint on a very long finish.
