| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 62 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 7/16/2022: no notes so NR, but remember this being very nice, especially for the $90'ish I paid for it in 2014 (1154 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 1/31/2022 & rated 93 points: so glad I have 5 more of these... the 2007 vintage has continued to be an upside surprise and wish I had purchased more... it is Chevillon and it is NSG for gosh sakes, so there is balance between the great acidity and the body... perfect tension and gets a 9+-out-of-10 score for both body and lift... copious fruit with minerals swirling... wow (1455 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 1/7/2022 & rated 93 points: Translucent ruby color. Nose of high-pitched but pleasantly searing violets, plum blossom, sweet craggy earth, saline, and pine-scented iodine. Layers of sharp, sweet red berry and dark plum fruit underpinned by savory earthy tones, iron granules, and medicinal spine. Arched acidity and firm but seasoned tannin. Long finish of brambly red fruit cut with iron and dirt. Beautiful wine full of character and lively charm with years of life left. Last bottle of six, a great run over 10 years. (1426 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 10/7/2021 & rated 93 points: Still dining outside in MN October (St. Genevieve): Red-fruited, delightfully gravelly, crunchy cherry, red berries and earth on a lightweight frame. (1985 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 10/7/2021 & rated 94 points: Mixed WTDS: AKA "Bring a Nice Bottle" (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Medium red color. PNP, drank a glass over 2 hours plus. This was a rocking bottle tonight, JFG. The nose is so expressive and perfumed with florals, cherry, iron, anise, sauvage, game and gorgeous NSG spices. The palate has that ethereal featherweight character with lift and energy, medium bodied, cherries, dried spices, charcoal, sauvage, iron and fresh leather on a nice long finish. Love the parallels of '07 in Oregon and Burgundy. Fantastic now, no rush. My and group #2 WOTN. (2064 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 10/7/2019 & rated 92 points: very nice, pretty four-square, almost full-bodied (at least for a pinot)... this was friendly and enjoyable and def'ly good wine for pre-dinner... not a food wine (2350 views) | | | Tasted by fontaine on 7/29/2019 & rated 93 points: Le vin est pas mal dans son peak à mon avis et se marie tres bien à l’agneau. Un 2007 qui est adorable en ce moment. Du côté finesse du pinot probablement question du millésime car je ne m’attendais pas à ca d’un Cailles. Fruits rouges et noirs mélangés avec des épices, du sous-bois et un peu de terre. Excellent (2217 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 5/25/2019: Clear red. Crushed herbs, smokiness, and stems frame the nose. Depending upon your perspective, its weight could be described either as "elegant" or "somewhat thin"; I suppose I come down somewhere in the middle. How's that for definitive equivocation? Brambly black fruit, excellent acidity and soil. It's hard to deny that this is meager for a Nuits, and it is clearly as good as it's ever going to get. (2491 views) | | | Tasted by Moonie on 11/17/2018: Corked (2395 views) | | | Tasted by larsth on 3/25/2018 & rated 93 points: Lovely delicate red-fruited nose. In a very good spot right now with good fruit, some sous bois balanced with the freshness and light footed elegance of the vintage. (3040 views) | | | Tasted by InVinjeVeritas on 12/31/2017 & rated 88 points: Not very talkative at the moment, event with 2 hours airing. Like a good bourgogne rouge. Not sure if it will be anything more. (2451 views) | | | Tasted by liteagilis on 7/3/2017: Just about open for business and very enjoyable. Not WOTN but still excellent. much more enjoyable at this stage than the vaucrains. Pop em open. (3287 views) | | | Tasted by rosenst1 on 2/15/2017 & rated 92 points: PnP. Medium red - no browning. Discrete nose of dark fruits, spice, and NSG iron. On the palate medium - light weight, lovely balance, with dark fruits, tea, mineral, and a nice long finish. Lighter than these wines typically are but perfectly in line with the vintage. Drinking at peak - will hold for a few years, but why wait? (3580 views) | | | Tasted by VDLT Wine on 8/2/2016: At La Cabotte - surprisingly approachable and gorgeous. Deep, spicy layers of quality. Terrific! (4093 views) | | | Tasted by Diane (LI) on 2/27/2016: It has been a while since I had a 2007 Burg. This is drinking beautifully now. Raspberry, earth, spice, soft tannins and a long finish. Spectacular pairing with duck with a pomegranate glaze at Lake House. (4099 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/18/2016: C-cubed--Chevillon Chaignots and Cailles Verticals (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Pale center, watery edge. Lightly herbal aromatics. Light and the most elegant of all 6 Nuits tonight. Red berry fruit, excellent acidity, subtle and soil filled, some remaining tannin. This is a beauty, and if you told me it was a Côte de Beaune, I would have been a believer. (4375 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 11/23/2015: Enjoyed this. Seemed for my taste to be drinking well at this stage. Good acidity and medium weight, too. (4439 views) | | | Tasted by rosenst1 on 11/16/2015 & rated 90 points: PnP. Good cork. Medium deep red with some clearing at the rim. Intriguing nose combining an airy quality with classic NSG iron and soil. On the palate medium weight, not as open and ready to drink as the last bottle but still eminently enjoyable. Long finish of classic NSG flavors. This can last 3-5 more years while more structured vintages age. Nice. (3478 views) | | | Tasted by western on 11/3/2015 flawed bottle: Corked! (3089 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 5/9/2015 & rated 92 points: My first introduction to this domaine several years ago and still a favorite. Popped and poured. Darker ruby hue. Nose of damp cellar, forest floor, anise, raspberry, violets, stone. Cool blue fruits on the smooth but concentrated palate with anise, blackberry, and ferrous notes thrown in. Glycerin-like quality to the palate contrasting with NSG rocks and iron. Driving acidity and serious tannins leading to a long finish of dark berry, iron flecks, and sweet grip. Keeps getting better and likely to do so for years. (3590 views) | | | Tasted by galenico on 2/5/2015 & rated 89 points: Vino diverso dagli altri cru e altre annate già bevute di Chevillon, qui purtroppo l' annata difficile emerge, in un vino molto profumato da subito, invitante. Frutto rosso immerso nella terra e grande ariosità, ma la bocca non è a livello dei grandi Chevillon.
Manca la maturità fenolica in un vino che è un pochino scomposto tra il tannino ruvido, le note vegetali leggermente acerbe e un finale più dolce in cui il legno è ancora presente.
Bevuta piacevole, ma non ai vertici. (3714 views) | | | Tasted by western on 12/29/2014 & rated 93 points: What a Vigneron! For 07 this wine is FANTASTIC and certainly needs at least another 5/10 yrs to reach it's straps. Young and full of vigor with all ingredients for a great future. Chevillon is the superstar of NSG �� (3262 views) | | | Tasted by rosenst1 on 6/1/2014 & rated 89 points: Perfect cork; Medium red. Light airy nose of iron, spice. Smooth on the palate with no rough edges, almost delicate, something I never have described Chevillon NSGs as. With more air this does develop more intensity but still, drink up. (3869 views) | | | Tasted by sunnylea57 on 5/4/2014 & rated 94 points: Ready for business. Shimmering ruby. Cherry, strawberry, rose, a bit of liquorice, leather, wet earth, and a zingy streak of minerals with prominent iron - like licking an iron pipe, which I discovered is far more pleasurable than one might imagine. Absolutely delicious. (3981 views) | | | Tasted by mattyboy_ on 1/6/2014 & rated 93 points: Previous TN is a good descriptor. Hits its stride around the 1 hr mark - very pretty and one of the most elegant wines I've had from NSG. Well made wines from this vintage are already accessible and drinking well.

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 Cailles 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
