| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 25 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by PauliC on 4/5/2024 & rated 93 points: Fantastic! This was in no way drinkable 5 years ago but today is is singing. Beautiful floral nose. Exciting vibrancy on the palate, good length. Gaining elegance. Loads of structure! Grippy tannins. This will benefit from a bit more time and has many years to go. (201 views) | | | Tasted by DH90 on 12/7/2023 & rated 91 points: Good color, some light brown hues around the edge. Excellent aromatics of red berries, leather, and earth. A bit restrained overall but a lovely example of mature NSG. Might have a few years left but probably best consumed soon. (419 views) | | | Tasted by jhw425 on 12/3/2022 & rated 92 points: This was in a good spot with 3-4 hours of air.
Lots of sediment
I echo woodies not supposed st the pretty factor and lightness (832 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 10/26/2022 & rated 92 points: very nice, and seemed at peak... surprised (and pleased a bit) that this wasn't -- particularly for 2005 and for NSG -- super heavy / dark... this had nice darkish fruit but with a good amount of lift and cut from acidity... hmmm, not typical NSG and certainly not like some of the brutish '05's I've had in the last 5 years (835 views) | | | Tasted by DAVIDMAC on 5/15/2022 & rated 92 points: My last bottle. Served blind. In beautiful condition and peak drinking time
interesting no one picked it as nuit-rather more delicate (905 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 6/20/2019 & rated 92 points: An almost forgotten solitary remaining bottle that really shone.
Highly focussed, fresh (in spite of vintage), juicy red cherry with plenty of desert spice nuances, earth and integrated oak to give complexity and an impression of maturity. Well judged acidity - if no PN bitter cherry - brings it all together. Very fine, intense medium bodied PN.
Should last up to twenty years from vintage, but doubt that it will gain much from here on. (2269 views) | | | Tasted by Winetex on 6/8/2019 flawed bottle: Very corked. I'm disappointed to hold a wine for 13+ years and have it be undrinkable. (1992 views) | | | Tasted by Birdiealways on 10/29/2017 & rated 86 points: Seems dense, out of balance. Next bottle in 2019. (2423 views) | | | Tasted by Vstalam on 5/31/2017 & rated 94 points: in a great place. Medium ruby color. Initial nose jumps out of the glass with red berries, truffle, and hint of tea and spice. Medium bodied on the palate with vibrant red fruit balanced by a cinnamon spice and a touch of earthiness. The finish is very long with both acidity and tannins there in spades. Just starting to show secondary notes but fruit is still present, will easily age for 5-10 yrs based on the finish,but wonderful now. (2629 views) | | | Tasted by GrahamJ on 2/26/2017 & rated 91 points: Dark cherry, good structure. Long cherry tones on the back palate. A beautiful Pinot noir with quail. (2690 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 11/29/2015 & rated 91 points: 2 hour decant.
Warming ripe cherry frame with wild strawberry, tad of earth and smoke and great depth. Perfect cherry sour finish and good length. Did our Sunday pheasant proud.
À pointe. For drinking at this peak over the next 2 or so years. 91+ (2492 views) | | | Tasted by sehill on 12/28/2011 & rated 90 points: This wine showed improvement over a previously tasted bottle. Based on this showing, there appear to be some upside to this wine. This may benefit from an additional two to three years of bottle age. (4502 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 12/11/2011 & rated 91 points: Drank at Parlour
Quite a deep rich colour. Wonderful round taste with a great length. Nice notes of strawberries and plumbs. We went back for the second bottle. (3762 views) | | | Tasted by gorm on 4/26/2011 & rated 92 points: Very delicious and perfectly acessible now. (3656 views) | | | Tasted by Ho Bryan on 8/16/2010: Can't help but agree that this is still too young to evaluate. I'm no expert but I've enjoyed 2002s in the same price range that offer a whole lot more complexity. So I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Lots of ripe fruit here, and still a fair bit of oak, so maybe this will become a great wine in another 5 years. Right now it's enjoyable but not great. (3766 views) | | | Tasted by sehill on 7/2/2009 & rated 87 points: This wine was opened and poured. Unfortunately it did not show as well as expected. The wine begins stern and austere. Overtime its aromatic profile becomes more forthcoming and the palate becomes less stern; however, the wine never reveals its full potential during the course of its consumption. The bouquet begins with hints of black cherry, spice and earth notes that are not forthcoming, airing brings out more of the aromatic profile. The color is a dark ruby that is correct for the wines age. The medium bodied palate continues the stern, unyielding profile that loosens over time. Based on previous experiences with '05 Chevillon and this wine in particular, the wine has the components to show in a more compelling style. At this point, this wine needs additional bottle age to show its best. (2091 views) | | | Tasted by mdefreitas on 7/2/2009 & rated 85 points: Joseph Visits Scott & Kate, Part III (Burlingame, CA): Disappointing. At first, it seemed reduced, with prominent sulfur like notes. Some cherry and earth tried to peek out, but this was hard and ungiving. No real flaw, just the wrong time to open this wine, I would guess. (3532 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 12/28/2008: This sweaty, meaty, soot stained, workhorse has tossed aside the blue workers singlet and been presented a modern, crisp stylish new suit courtesy of the vintage. Its work strong figure ripples just below the polished exterior and fruits are ripe to the point of a little prune mixing it up with blood plum and a whip of tart cranberry. There are nice, highly perfumed floral tones and it finishes long, dry and firm with scorched earth undertones. Very complex and very Nuits, in need of plenty of time, but not as elegant or beguiling as a youngster as the 02 was. (1720 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 7/30/2008 & rated 94 points: Nectar Cyn Kate Scott -- I adored it, loaded with "savage" wild spice and fruit. Deep brilliant dark color, very expressive and fruity on the nose, really caressed the palate with ultra ripe fruit and a touch of mocha and roasted meats. (2344 views) | | | Tasted by Siggy on 6/21/2006: France Trip Part 3 - Burgundy; 6/20/2006-6/23/2006: Barrel sample tasted at the domaine. Still going through malo, not racked. Seems to have great fruit and texture, but tough to evaluate at this stage. (5520 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)
The adventure started with Symphorien Chevillon who started working approximately thirty acres of vines at Nuits-Saint-Georges in his own name.
Then, Eugène-François (around 1914), following 2 years of military service and 5 years of war, took over the domain and bought a few plots as Premier Cru.
In 1946, the vines were taken over by the 2 sons (they separated later on).
Maurice bought 2 stills (39) and (46) and became an itinerant distiller. He continued to expand the Domain by buying new plots of Premier Cru.Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.Les PerrièresWhen in Bourgueil, Loire, France: On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
