  Earthly, light cherry notes. Generally pretty light / delicate, no strong profiles

  This should get more subtle and suggestive with further cellar time but, courtesy the tough vintage, this has already entered its drinking plateau. Smooth, dense, and grippy texture, with the signature (to me) fresh orange liquor notes of mature NSG in general and Chevillon wines in particular. At once dense and delicate—perhaps a tad homogeneous for now, an impression which should dissipate with time—and a very long finish. 93-94

  Hints of plum and 止咳糖浆。 light and elegant, not the best vintage.

  Abierto una hora antes sin decantar. Color rubí translúcido de capa media. Espectacular aroma de alta intensidad con muchas sensaciones, cerezas, frambuesas, ciruelas negras y toda la fruta apimentada, todo ello matizado con notas terciarias como hojarasca, bosque y tierra. El aroma es evolutivo y sigue dando mentolados muy finos, torrefactos, piedras de río, chocolate y deja sensaciones finales licorosas y minerales, todo muy limpio. La boca es pulida, redonda y elegante, de estructura media. Alta expresividad gustativa, se encuentran sensaciones de pétalos de rosa rosa y violetas azules con caramelo de fresa y retro gusto mineral, como de piedras de río. Final muy largo.
  Este es un gran vino, muy típico, brillante y seductor

  Airy and precise perfumes of plums, blue and red pinot fruits and the chalky aroma typical of Premeaux. Lush, sweet flavors of plum in the mouth, given by the clay component, and a slight bitterness provided by ferrous oxyde in the Vaucrains soil. There is perfect grape maturity in 2011 for this wine, but in a lighter density, this is similar to the wine made in 2017. Very good mineral kick in the end with still slightly dry tannins, and good lenght. This is impressive for the vintage, and I like how Chevillon manages to do very well in cold years, it always outperforms.
  
  After ten years of cellar time this wine can be drunk now, but it's still primary, and will develop in many years down the road. I've had the Chevillon Vaucrains 2000 recently- After 20 years in the cellar the wine was in athletic shape, so my guess for the 2011 is more complexity and finer in the years ahead.
