"The 1999 vintage of Les St. Georges from the Chevillon family is one of the greatest young vintages of this wine I have ever had the pleasure to taste. At twenty-three years of age, the wine remains several years away from fully blossoming, but its enormous potential is self-evident. The pure and sappy bouquet leaps from the glass in a blaze of sweet dark berries, black cherries, graphite, bonfire, a stunning base of dark soil tones, coffee bean, gentle balsamic tones, just a hint of fresh herbs and a lovely foundation of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with great focus and grip, ripe, fine-grained tannins, laser-like focus and a very, very long, very complex and perfectly balanced finish. All this legend needs is further bottle age."
