Initially after an hour or so, so so - tight, chalky, menthol hints. Then really came alive at the three hour mark where is melted seamlessly into velvet. Long decant recommended .

-med dark red minimal bricking
-full-on sous bois mature
-med acidity, med weight sweet ripe dark fruit remnants iron earthiness finishes with a bitter note that leads to somewhat astringent med+ tannins
-promising nose but disappoints on the palate with the off-balance finish and less complexity than expected (1755 views) | | | Tasted by Dsen on 4/2/2022 & rated 95 points: Classic NSG, earthy, long, good tannins and length (1830 views) | | | Tasted by nectar14 on 11/13/2020: Tried over 2 days. Initially a bit short, though lovely truffle, earth, and wet limestone was there. On 2nd day, it opened to a beautifully elegant wine, with richer red and dried fruit, brown leaves, and long finish. Still evolving. Very, very good. (2578 views) | | | Tasted by gordoyflaca on 10/19/2020 & rated 91 points: Refined fruit, tannins still scratchy (2417 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 10/3/2020 & rated 90 points: {Purchased on release, perfect fill; PopNPour consumed over 5 hours} Reticent aromatics to start, and both depth of palate and finish were a bit constrained, yet satisfying. Red crisp fruit on palate, not quite cranberries and some strawberries; no black fruits in this wine. Nose did not develop very much and I found myself glad the wine had the benefit of the Les Cailles vineyard exposition in a so-so year for NSG. Both the Chevillon Vaucrains and Les St Georges are a bit better in 2006. No rush to drink but do not expect any upside at this juncture. (2307 views) | | | Tasted by PLiu on 7/25/2020: Grippy tannins still present, it may need a few more years, but it will be a race between the fruit dissipating vs. tannin integration. Fortunately, I won't have this problem, as this was my only bottle of the 2006. (1960 views) | | | Tasted by oolah on 4/26/2020: Plums and violet sweetness layered over leather. Lovely. Wish I had more. (1941 views) | | | Tasted by HENNO1 on 3/29/2020 & rated 92 points: Following on from my previous note, this wine has a real class and elegance to it at the price point and in a vintage that often does not come together . Thoroughly pleasant. Yum (1141 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 2/23/2020 & rated 92 points: More depth of fruit, harmony and succulence than I have learnt to expect from this vintage. Very satisfied. (1190 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 2/18/2020: This is lovely stuff, although the region is despised by the Burgundy freaks it is wonders, ripe fruit and tasty. (1142 views) | | | Tasted by HENNO1 on 10/25/2019 & rated 91 points: Pleasantly surprised. Nice rich and warm taste with good body. It doesn’t have great length but still very nice. A good solid 2016 premier cru. (1302 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 10/5/2019 & rated 89 points: Short decant. Rich fruits nose with v ripe raspberries and light black cherry. Notes of rose and savoury undertones. Palate is ripe with good acidity and clear, but fine tannins. Light fruits but good balance. Some savoury notes. Perhaps lacks some depth and persistence. I doubt this will improve much from here. Drink now-2021. (1154 views) | | | Tasted by western on 11/20/2018 & rated 93 points: Consistent (1674 views) | | | Tasted by collin on 10/22/2018: I think this needs time. Perfectly good, but I'm guessing it opens up a bit more in ~5 years (give or take); or with a more intelligent aeration now than I gave it tonight. (1609 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 9/9/2018 & rated 90 points: nice, pretty four square, roundish fruit, decent structure but slightly on the soft side for my tastes... fair QPR for the price I paid ($60)... drink this in the next 5-7 years (I couldn't help notice that the CT drinking range ended in 2060... not sure the '06 vintage is up to that (in fact I'm sure it isn't)... [added this later] went and looked at the user dates and they said drink until 2026... 'wisdom of crowds' gets it right again!!... I guess the 2060 end date was from a professional reviewer named John Gilman (who I don't know) (1658 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 8/17/2018 & rated 90 points: Weekend in Minneapolis; 8/17/2018-8/18/2018 (Various Locations): We had two bottles go around the table of this. I just tried from the one. I appreciate the fruit in the bottle (lots of cherries). Lower on the earthy side of things. Very easy to drink and not overpowering, but also not always what I expect from a Burgundy. I appreciate it though and on the heels of the Quivet it was a nice contrast. (1967 views) | | | Tasted by western on 8/15/2018 & rated 93 points: Cannot resist. Similar notes. Terrific juice. Consistent vigneron. (1531 views) | | | Tasted by GNBB on 5/12/2018 & rated 88 points: Showing a little orange on rim. Medium intense nose with ripe black cherries, some violets, a little earthiness. Palate has good depth and power with firm fine tannins, good acidity and a clear black cherry fruit. Some persistence & limited secondary flavours as yet. This wine is good but is not delivering much beyond its initial flavours at the moment and it's certainly showing some really quite dry tannins. Question how this will improve. Drink again in 6-9 months to reassess. (1575 views) | | | Tasted by western on 4/17/2018 & rated 93 points: Only a pup compared to the 2002. Great,great Burg but needs 5-10 yrs
to reach its full potential. What a vigneron. (1532 views) | | | Tasted by rnellans on 3/27/2018 & rated 92 points: Rich complex, long, balanced. Moderate tannins. .needs age (1664 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 3/7/2017 & rated 93 points: Wine was very tight at first. as it got more air Dark ripe red fruit. berries... smooth wine. will heed my own advice and wait a bit. (2603 views) | | | Tasted by Hypersphere on 7/29/2016 & rated 92 points: starting to open up really well (3124 views) | | | Tasted by western on 1/19/2016 & rated 93 points: Terrific fruit, great balance of fruit, tannins and mineral acidity. Retry in 3-4 yrs. (3372 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 12/24/2015 & rated 92 points: A tight but brooding wine. red fruit on the nose. This wine should get better with time.Will wait to open again.

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.Les Cailles On weinlagen-infoFrance 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
