| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 28 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by vanpe003 on 11/8/2021 & rated 93 points: Full bodied, with a balance of sweet and rustic. A delightful wine that's in a great place right now. (1051 views) | | | Tasted by MNWG on 2/25/2019 & rated 84 points: Unusual in that this was quite full bodied and almost wild tasting...Quite strong...animal and soy. This was quite different from the other recent reviews. I'll give my other bottle a few months and try again. Rather atypical. (1449 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 7/17/2018: PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs, bottle from secondary market
-ruby core mild-moderate bricking
-expressive rhubarb dried leaf sousbois caramel
-med acidity, med/med- weight soft round tangy red-fruit shell surrounds a core of earthy iron mineral, med/med- tannins and trace wood
-this bottle is squarely on a mature plateau showing features of NSG and of the '07 vintage (1683 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 10/18/2016 & rated 89 points: Decanted for 2 hours. Sour cherries, violets, autumn leaves, soy and dusty spice. Delicious palate, silly, lithesome with rocky detail but a soft touch. I really like the palate. Good acidity, medium structure, deep flavors of spice infused cherry. A little short on the finish, but this is a nice 07 with a soft texture, which for me is classic 2007 red burgundy. (2961 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 10/5/2016: Red tending to black berry fruit, slight stalky elements, cedary notes...Juicy, fleshy with the fruit translating to the palate. Quite robust and firm. Despite 9 years this feels a bit vinfanticide. Went well with roast chook. (2744 views) | | | Tasted by Gian on 5/15/2016 & rated 90 points: At the beginning the nose is about leather and animal four, with time comes the red and dark fruits , complex , smooth tannins , full bodied, quite long finish (2619 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 10/30/2015 & rated 93 points: Bricking medium dark cherry red color; black cherry, black raspberry, violets, dried roses nose; silky textured, tart black cherry, black raspberry, tart cherry palate with firm, sweet tannins; medium-plus finish 93+ points (819 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 8/13/2014 & rated 94 points: Wow, this was really excellent. First bottle of wine on our trip to Burgundy. Red and black fruits mixing with fur, mineral, oak, spice, tilled soil. Open, expressive, complex. Good balance and tannin suggesting that it has substance to age even though it's a 2007 and even though it's already drinking so beautifully. Perfect now and such good QPR (paid about 65 euro at the restaurant). Wonderful. 94-95. (4268 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 11/30/2013 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Dark ruby. Strong scents of fresh-cut florals, plum, cherry, anise, and fecund earth on the nose. Palate laden with rocky notes and iron filings from which emerged a satin-textured sheet of pure red raspberry and black cherry fruit. Jumping with acidity and anchored in serious tannins. Major interplay of red fruit and iron flecks on the long, serious finish. Wow, no doubt about where this came from. Delicious wine, still quite young and energetic. (4114 views) | | | Tasted by Traxx on 6/23/2013: Drinking nicely at the moment. Some forest elements on the nose, youthful but some signs of secondary development. (3585 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 5/25/2013 & rated 90 points: Popped and poured. Dark ruby color. Nose of damp cellar, forest floor, plum blossom, a bit of shoe polish. Primary and monolithic on the palate out of the gate, then a slow reveal of dark plum, raspberry, iron, earth, and licorice. Later in the evening some sweet grip emerged. Oak notes prevailed early but seemed to integrate over time. Stern tannins, marked acidity. Finish long and all over the place. Very young wine, disjointed and primary, but displaying lots of great components and promise for the future. (3576 views) | | | Tasted by western on 1/27/2013 & rated 90 points: Delicious drink now 07 Burg. (3614 views) | | | Tasted by RAMwines on 1/10/2013 & rated 91 points: Bottle #14 of My Burgundy Project.
A really nice nose of earthiness and some berries. Almost barnyard-like, but not as overpowering as some Burgundies (and Oregon Pinots) I've had. On the palate the "Les Roncières" was very tasty with lots of berries, some hints of coffee and chocolate and a relatively full body. The acidity seemed well balanced and the finish lasted for minutes. Some other tasting notes commented that this Burg was too "sweet" for at least one taster, but I enjoyed this fruity Burgundy quite a bit. Must be my California Pinot palate. (2678 views) | | | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 12/28/2010 & rated 90 points: 2007 Burgundies: The groups #2 wine. Light ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is slightly earthy with nice cherries. I thought this had the best chance of developing into something really good. Nice texture. Complex. Cherries on the palate. At $57, it is not cheap, but is very nice. (4360 views) | | | Tasted by western on 12/25/2010 & rated 90 points: dark rby/velvet colour. Nose offers up small red fruits, plums, spice and coffee. Lovely weight of ripe fruit with good acid core and soft mouth coating tanniins. Long lingering finish. VG. (3500 views) | | | Tasted by esibox on 8/10/2010 & rated 88 points: Initial burst of barnyard and forest floor (which blows off after a while) on the nose following through with dark fruits and sloes, cinnamon and pepper. On the palate, luscious dark fruits and earthy tones with a wide mouthfeel and lingering finish. Acidity is there but needs a little more to really make this wine sing. Enjoyed with pork ribs and provencal vegetables (in provence!) (3575 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/30/2010: 2007 Nuits St. Georges (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): Dark color in this context. Black fruit and anise. Medium weight, but lighter than the Bousselots. Less dense fruit than that wine, higher acidity and more austerity on the finish. Lots of scorched earth. This steadily improved in the glass, picking up spice and even more soil notes. Very promising development despite not being amongst the most immediately appealing wines. (4528 views) | | | Tasted by marc d on 5/26/2010: Drinking really well, bright and fresh, black raspberry fruit and a little spice, tannins are there under the primary fruit, ripe and balanced.
Nice stuff. (3230 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 1/16/2010: Most of the 2007 Chevillon Premier Crus (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): At this point in the tasting, the colors generally got deeper and the wines were more easily identified as Nuits. Very different aromatics here, with crunchy, brambly black fruit and a meatier quality. Not surprisingly, weightier and sappier on the palate with much more noticeable tannin. While a bit blockish at first, in the glass, it developed beautifully with terrific mouth feel, great penetration and persistence, and an impressive mineral finish with some remaining austerity to the tannins. This seemed above class and quite close in quality to Chevillon's more renowned holdings. (4055 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 11/11/2009: Minty, almost forest floory. Stronger than the basic NSG. Almost gin like on the nose. And I love gin. Or raspberries. Grip on the palate. This is intense wine. (3359 views) | | | Tasted by Macki on 11/11/2009: Dark lush fruit on nose and palate, yet not as meaty as the Vaucrains. More masculine expression of Pinot. (3563 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 11/11/2009: Red Burgundy (Waterford Wine Co., Milwaukee): brightness of fruit and mineral on the nose. hints at coffee roasting with the lightest notes of brett. pepper notes too. on the palate brighter acid than the 2007 NSG, with sweet lingering fruit. this is the boogie. (3705 views) | | | Tasted by MatthewF on 2/16/2009: From barrel at the Domaine. Sweet red fruits on the nose. A bit darker lush fruit than the others on the palate. Nice finish and acidity.

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.France 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
