| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 3/25/2023: almost no saturation at all through the cork. At pop n pour, mellow and delicate, light earthiness, medium minus tannin. 2 hours of air and the tannin firms up, still medium minus. A little more fruit there. More complexity starting to show. (564 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 10/7/2022 & rated 88 points: really not likable... very angular (and I am a big fan of acid/lift), didn't feel like there was any fruit coming through, all secondary flavors (and not good flavors) and a bit harsh... could it be fully shut down... I don't think so... will try to let ten years pass before going for the last bottle, but not sure that is going to help... saw the notes on two flawed btls, didn't feel flawed to me per se, but then again I am not super sensitive to taint elements (757 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 8/24/2022 flawed bottle: Bottle from Premier Cru. Opened 3 bottles from the same source and all were afflicted with the same weird combo of reduction and VA and maybe even a little cooked. (694 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 8/24/2022 flawed bottle: 2nd of 3 off bottles (706 views) | | | Tasted by Mag357 on 2/22/2021 & rated 90 points: Nice perfume of red berries and a bit of spice-some peppery and fine oak notes too. Good red fruits in the mouth, moderate depth, a little grainy in texture and decent length. Ready now with no rustic edges, this is a no brainer to enjoy now, but not as complex as Chevillon's best in the range. While Burgundy is typically autumn or winter wines, this is a good candidate to enjoy on a roasted chicken on a summer day, a total no brainer and no drama friend. (1714 views) | | | Tasted by VenturePlanet on 6/13/2020 & rated 91 points: Solid Burgundy...all around good balance on fruit, spice, structure. Held up nicely - nose with pepper, wet tobacco, forest berries, mustard seed. Long finish. Drink now. (1369 views) | | | Tasted by short and confused on 5/14/2019 & rated 93 points: Have been pondering how much to buy of the 2016s so opened a bottle to get myself in the right frame of mind. When I went down to the cellar, I found 2 of these while my records say just 1. Sweet! Looking back at my impression from September 2018, my impression has now changed for the better. Bright medium red. Black cherry and chocolate on the nose with a great mineral element. And it is some seriously savory stuff in the mouth. Medicinal in the back with some real tannins, this is a sturdy Nuit St. George bottle of wine. But that having been said, a wine with real elegance and interest. I bought this for $36. Wow. (1802 views) | | | Tasted by short and confused on 9/21/2018 & rated 90 points: Sturdy Nuit St George stuff. Quite closed and reserved. Dark red. Black cherry on the nose with minerals. Dense, concentrated, dry and medicinal with some chocolatey notes. This is my 3rd of 4 which I some what randomly plucked from the cellar without reviewing my inventory. I should definitely have held off. (1873 views) | | | Tasted by D1Harris1 on 7/9/2017 & rated 90 points: Barnyard, Sous Boise and bright red fruit right off the bat. With more air the funk faded to the background and gained depth on the palate with fresh turned soil, currant and vanilla from oak treatment, but still fresh. Delightful to drink. (2355 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 3/21/2017: Tuesday Night Double Blind $50+ (Alpharetta, GA): Crimson maroon, clarity, pale rim; sour cherry, plum, classic nose, focused and taut, some reduction, dusty mineral; taut and focused on the palate, pure cherry, high acid, but sweet fruit offsets, nice nobility, floral, some red apple skin, new oak yet to resolve, no green; singular but really well done with upside development, easy to appreciate. (2143 views) | | | Tasted by wgmccallum on 9/12/2016 & rated 92 points: Shy nose of earth, plums, sweet spice, with almond and floral notes emerging. Very strict on the palate, with a deep core of dry fruit, deft touch of acid, bitter chocolate tannins at the back, long finish. Austere and reserved. I imagine it should wait for 20 years, but this is my only bottle! 50 + 17 + 17 + 8. (1967 views) | | | Tasted by Cj802 on 3/21/2016: Popped and poured and this was quite reserved and closed, but again with some air it opened up into an explosive Nuits. There's a firm tannic backbone here that I hadn't noticed before, but it doesn't preclude enjoyment whatsoever. Delicious now with a some air, but will certainly reward some more aging. (2170 views) | | | Tasted by Cj802 on 3/12/2016: Decanted roughly an hour before serving, and served alongside the 2013 D'Angerville Clos des Ducs. Although the Clos des Ducs was beautiful in it's own right, this Nuits is in a much better place right now. Super earthy nose with tons of dirt and soil notes. Wild cassis on the palate, this is drinking superbly now. Although most would probably hold this for several years more this for me is just coming into the beginning of its--probably long--drinking window. And, considering that I've seen this producer's village Nuits from the 2014 vintage retailing at an astonishing $90, I can't help but think this may be a steal. (1674 views) | | | Tasted by Shiaxonna on 1/22/2016 & rated 90 points: Extremely nice and balanced wine. Spices and a nice succulent sweetness to it. Wonderful palate. Really like it!
50+5+12+15+8 (90p) (1482 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 6/4/2014: The fine-ness is in the detail I am being told and I definately believe that. A fine wine. (2651 views) | | | Tasted by Mackmoo on 4/12/2014 & rated 91 points: Nice nose. Balanced on the palate. Surprisingly smooth for a NSG. Almost Chambolle like character to it. (2073 views) | | | Tasted by denver_vinder on 3/7/2014 & rated 93 points: Nice and fruity, very aromatic, dark cherries, soft and well rounded, long aftertaste. (1951 views) | | | Tasted by kosinski on 2/27/2014: Perfumed nose of blueberries, strawberry and a hint of lavender. Spicy on the palate with pronounced dusty tannins over flavors of red currant and leather. Fairly juicy and nicely balanced fruit and acid. Needs cellar time. (1759 views) | | | Tasted by Frijole on 2/27/2014: Nose: raspberry, cinnamon, black pepper
Pal: raspberry, cinnamon, black pepper, thyme, menthe, earth
Feel: medium, savory
Finish: medium

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 Bousselots On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
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
