Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2007 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles from Domaine Robert Chevillon offers smudged mulberry and damp earth aromas on the nose that feels just a tad fatigued after almost a decade. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, touches of dark berry fruit with grainy tannins and an austere, rather attenuated finish. This was a beguiling Les Cailles in its youth, though like many 2007s its inevitable "descent" seems to be more rapid and earlier than expected. Tasted November 2016.
