  Bricking red/ruby nose is quite mature looking. Savory earthy, red fruit and soap flake nose. Rustic power here. Wild herbs. Medium bodied. Decent flavor depth. Fruit is maybe a touch short. Coarse and robust. I like this with hearty food. Very good. Not more tonight. (89)

  Two bottles bought on release, one tried 10 days ago and one tonight. 2nd bottle: relatively complex nose, appropriate for an elite producer's villages from an excellent year; follow through to palate, good length. 1st bottle unbalanced, tart, short, more advanced and clearly past peak, NR... but if representative, worrisome. Would try now if you have any. Remembering informal rule to try all villages wines at 7 or fewer years...
  
  Kermit Lynch importer, no Premier Cru strip, and my buying patterns make me think these were not Premier Cru purchases.

  Cranberry sweet cherry baking spices on an alluring nose. Palate more tart cranberry, earthy, tart citrusy finish and surprisingly long and well balanced. Great with grilled cheese. Still a little tannin - these are good now and will continue to be for years. What a charming Burg. 2010 plus a good producer and this is the kind of village wine that I wish I had bought by the case.

  Rather disappointing. Bought en primeur, stored perfectly.
  These bottles looked old already (opened two). Not what I expected from long lived wines from Chevillon.

  We have entered “prime-time” and boy is this wine impressive. Leads with wonderful wild cherry fruit with a swish of earthy goodness. Medium bodied, without holes. It’s a chunky hunk of burgundy goodness. The most complex? No. To discuss nuance for hours? No. But to drink and enjoy and think, “Damn, village burgundy can be totally satisfying.” Yes! Drink over the next 5 years. (91)
