Domaine Jérôme Chezeaux is undergoing a particularly exciting phase. While the wines have always been honest and delicious, the last few vintages show a level of finesse and precision which places them squarely into the top ranks of the Côte d’Or’s elite.
Domaine Jérôme Chezeaux is undergoing a particularly exciting phase. While the wines have always been honest and delicious, the last few vintages show a level of finesse and precision which places them squarely into the top ranks of the Côte d’Or’s elite.
Always fully ripe, his wines nonetheless never display a wisp of flab even in the warmest of vintages; they offer the distinct impression that the grapes were harvested at the most perfect possible moment. Jérôme allows the Pinot Noir’s innate silkiness to carry the day, without that “buffed to a shine” impression that occasionally accompanies Burgundies to which the adjective “elegant” is eagerly applied. And, again even in the ripest years, they carry an acidity which is noble and true, never masked by undue richness, and always lending the fruit mouthwatering crunch.
Always a standout in Chezeaux’s cellar, Aux Boudots is perched at the northern limit of
Nuits-Saint-Georges, on the border of Vosne-Romanée. Jérôme and Lyse’s 2018 expresses the explosive richness of the vintage, but with a house-typical sense of equilibrium and restraint, which beckons for a bit of patience. As always, there is a stark clarity of site expression among this set of wines in spite of their relative power and concentration, and they remain among the very best values in our entire Burgundy!
