  Dark, earthy, and rather full-bodied, this seems to be in a good place right now. Rather brooding in style, but that's what I usually expect and get in NSG, especially from Chevillon. We had this with rare-seared duck breast with a morel and blackberry sauce and it was a fine match. The rustic profile was well-suited to the morel's intensity. A little high-toned in the nose, but it has shed most of its acid and I'd suspect it could still go a few more years before decline. Not a lot of finesse, to be sure, but quite flavory and one of the better wines from Chevillon that I've had recently.

  River School Auction Tasting (Washington DC): A "nice Burgundy" but nothing more - dark fruited, medium weight, good earth tones and strong acidity but, honestly, not an overly intense 1996 acidity. This is very drinkable, just not quite at the typical level I expect from Chevillon. One word: rustic.

  Well........it's better than the Roncieres served next to it, but not by much. The 96 signature is so present.

  Tasted blind: just under 3 years since I last had this; just starting to get hints of tertiary qualities; very stern though yet. Hmmm,... Will it come around???

  Very bright fruited nose accented by underlying acidity. A bit too shrill but could probably age well yet if that can soften any.
