The 1996 Les Saint Georges from Robert Chevillion is a somewhat problematic wine. Seem very developed in both bouquet and on the palate, with some brett notes disturbing the impression. The bouquet is offering sweet rustic fruit notes with a hint of brett. On the palate quite soft fruit, not very focused – notes of leather and blackberries and sweeter red fruits. The fruit is mellow and somewhat clouded. A disappointing wine from a otherwise reliable producer.
