At 17 years, fully mature. Ethereal with PnP, changing over a two hour dinner, first adding red fruits and then drying tannins. — 2 months ago
Lovely when drunk with friends and family in the south of France!! — 3 months ago
2012 vintage. Opened two bottles and decanted both. Merest hint of sed in both. Raspberry/cranberry nose with menthol, earth and those berries riding shotgun. Really integrated currently and an absolute pleasure to sample a 1er Cru at the top of its game-at lunch. Should hold steady in this phase another 7-8 years. That’s good news since we’ve got two bottles left. Don’t suspect they’re long for this world tho. 10.17.25. — a month ago
Great time to drink this red Burgundy. Deeply fruited on the palate with dark cherry and plum. Acidity and tannins settled and in balance. — 3 months ago

Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux – Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes 2022
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France 🇫🇷
Overview
Crafted from old vines (Vieilles Vignes) in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this 100% Pinot Noir captures the appellation’s signature structure and depth. Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux is a respected family estate that farms traditionally, bottling wines with both authenticity and age-worthy finesse. Unlike the silkier Chambolle-Musigny or the perfumed grace of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges is known for its firmer tannic backbone and savory, earthy character, making it one of Burgundy’s most robust expressions of Pinot Noir.
Aromas & Flavors
Opens with dark cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry layered with subtle spice, forest floor, and a gentle mineral streak. Hints of violet and dried herbs lend additional elegance.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, silky yet firm, with polished tannins and bright acidity carrying through to a persistent, savory finish. Youthful now, but its layered fruit and backbone suggest strong aging potential.
Winemaking Notes
Old vines (many 40–60 years of age) deliver concentration and depth. Traditional Burgundian vinification with careful élevage in French oak barrels (a proportion new, though never overpowering).
Food Pairing
Perfect alongside roasted duck, mushroom-based dishes, lamb chops, or simply a classic coq au vin. Its balance of fruit and earthy complexity makes it versatile with Burgundian-style cuisine.
Verdict
A benchmark Nuits-Saint-Georges VV—structured yet refined, with depth of fruit, mineral poise, and a sense of place. One to enjoy now with decanting, or cellar for 8–12 years for even greater reward. — 3 months ago
