Domaine Robert Chevillon; Village Vieilles Vignes
Burgundy; Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges, France
(91-93; drink 2028-38)
Lots of powerful cherry and stem-like notes from a standard vintage, not a glass I'd pass over.
Paired to duck confit (D'Artagnan) over green/red lentils with a hit of Dijon mustard to get the acid balance to perfection. — 4 months ago
2024/2/13. This is multifaceted, with different elements emerging and submerging repeatedly over dinner. By turns firm and earthy, young and gangly with a touch of pack showing, and wildly aromatic, as is typical for young Chevillon wines. This Cailles in particular showed strawberry and watermelon coulis, cherry, spices such as cardamom and sweet game. On the palate it’s fleshy, broad and on the low side in acid, but that’s relative - though still tannic and a bit awkward, it’s balanced and enjoyable — 2 months ago

Brilliant! — 2 months ago
Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, spice and smoky notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and currants with black pepper, oak and tobacco notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, toasty oak and mineral character. Nice! — 4 months ago

Perfumy. Dark color. High tannin for a Pinot. Hint of cranberry with mild cherry aftertaste. — 7 days ago
