| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Nutty08 on 2/3/2024 & rated 94 points: This was terrific and seemingly at peak. Has some tertiary notes with tea leaves and mushroom notes mixed with cherry notes and citrus highlights. Fruit still quite full and wrapping the structure. Faded a bit with air but was really showing well
(Threw a LOT of sediment, this was stood up the day before and decanted) (392 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 2/3/2024 & rated 95 points: Same bottle as Nutty08, I think I liked it even more than he did. At apogee, with cherry fruit remaining in the midst of tertiary development. Loads of umami character, like mushrooms with extra MSG, but no soy notes. Hints of fine herb in the background. And silky smooth. This is really excellent today. (353 views) | | | Tasted by drjb on 6/15/2023 & rated 92 points: This 'Lost Cellar' wine was opened for a birthday dinner for friends. It was opened 6 hours before serving. The colour was deep cherry red with some rust at the edges. The nose was a perfumed mix of wild strawberry, red cherries, Asian spice and ferruginous earth. The palate was soft and rounded with lovely balance and persistence. There was a perfect touch of red fruits that persisted right through the palate and which seemed to light up the structure perfectly. Quite delicious. (512 views) | | | Tasted by MarcusNZ on 11/9/2018 & rated 89 points: fully mature and wide open, good integrated structure with a slightly stewed palate, sweet fruit in the dark red spectrum. acidity was a little lacking, maybe they picked the fruit a bit too late (1517 views) | | | Tasted by Warren23 on 3/4/2017 & rated 92 points: Gorgeous wine. Notes of luscious raspberry, and sweet, dried cherry with great mouth feel. (2018 views) | | | Tasted by Warren23 on 11/25/2016 & rated 91 points: Excellent structure and balance. Still firm tannins, with an earthy nose, with notes of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry. (2056 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 1/2/2015: Lovely wine, and in a great place to drink - fully resolved. Bloody and animale, and yet also fully refined and elegant. Complex and intricate, beautifully balanced, just lovely. Hard to imagine a wine from this vineyard being better than this. (4625 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 2/2/2014 & rated 95 points: Glorious showing, a perfect window of development with super subtle elements of wet forest floor, mushroom, truffles and spice. Balanced by loads of bright zesty raspberry cherry fruit. Truffle jus, coppery hemoglobin smoky elements (weird, I know, but true). Slight bricking/dulling on the edges, still dark and deep. Lovely. (3444 views) | | | Tasted by noppakit s. on 1/19/2014 & rated 97 points: Many people may give it only 89-91 pts but for me I'd like to give it 97-100 pts.
Very beautiful at this moment, performs full-dimensions, great nose of fruits, very fragrant earth tone, almost perfume. Reminds me a bit of 2002 Leroy Les Boudots, drinking last few weeks.
Very much like Chambolle-Musigny at the first 2 hours. Then becomes a very good combination of NSG intermixed.
Balance is superb. Tannin structure is very smooth. Texture is super splendid. Aftertaste is amazing soft and vibrant. Long and beautiful finished.
It would be perfect if you drink this wine along with the song " Beautiful Blue Danube " and just a few good friends, not more.
I wonder if 2005/2009 will be better than this when it reaches its prime time.
Wait and see. (2981 views) | | | Tasted by TOTOM on 7/27/2012 & rated 92 points: 8 sec. finish (2573 views) | | | Tasted by MichelPlatini on 10/2/2010 & rated 88 points: Very well balanced with a touch of currant and earth.The wine never seems to express itself beyond that although the finish is fine but . Probably better to consume shortly after opening. The most enjoyable part of this wine is its structure and body and typical terroir Burgundy taste. A little disappointing as the ebullience somtimes found in some Nuits Saint Georges is absent from this particular wine. (2938 views) |
| Domaine Robert Chevillon Producer website
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
