92+ JG. "The 2010 Chaignots from Elodie Michelot is another absolutely superb Nuits premier cru. The very pure and sappy nose of red and black cherries, red plums, raw cocoa, gamebirds, a lovely base of soil and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with Chaignots’ classic plummy generosity, lovely transparency, a plush core of fruit, tangy acids and fine focus and nascent complexity on the ripely tannic and very classy finish. Fine juice in the making here." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Jun 2012 |
