  Trübes rubinrot mit braunen rändern.
  am anfang ausdrucksstarke nase, dann nachlassend. reife beeren (erdbeeren), muffige reifenoten (keller, waldboden, barnyard), rost, roter tee
  sehr säure betont, im abgang zeigen sich dann filigrane tannine.

  David's btl tonight in the same flt with my 08 Mugnier NSG Clos Marechale. Made for a wonderful comparison of 2 great producers in the same vintage & appellation! The Chevillon was truer to classic NSG in weight, power and richness while the Mugnier could easily be mistaken for Chambolle blind. The Chevillon was concentrated, elegant, complex & long. Featured rich blk fruits, mineral, earth, spice & emerging forest floor on both the nose & palate. This was opened at the restaurant and likely would have benefited from more air prior to its arrival. Some of our table mates expressed slight reduction & oxidation concerns but I escaped noticing either. Certainly, close to peak but still very enjoyable for me. Thanks David. 92-93

  Wow, so glad I got on board with Chevillon a decade or so ago! These '08s have always been both fun & promising. 15yrs out they're downright, sublime! This is concentrated, elegant, complex & long. Features red & blk raspberry, mineral, earthiness, spice galore and emerging forest floor on both the nose & palate. This is why we cellar wine! Delighted to have 1 more for its 20th on or after 2028! Not a lot of air tonight like usual. Slow -oxed in Burg glass & btl for 2hrs b4 dinner. Thankfully, this was wide open when I pulled the cork. Almost no sediment. Enjoyed in Burg glasses in the low low 60s w/ steaks tonight.

  Lovely, but still a little on young side for me.

  Roncieres is very steep vineyard with gravels. According to Jasper Morris, this always shows some ripe, almost cooked fruit with a Mediterranean touch (garrigue).
  This was a perfect example of this description! Started quite stewy. Put it in a decanter and while it got way better, it kept that extravagant southern profile. While this is not my favorite vineyard in the Chevillon lineup, this is definitely interesting and showing this particular terroir.
