The nose on this is spectacular... expansive, with dark complex red fruit, a rich earthy base and gorgeous floral details. The palate is dull in comparison, but still tasty, with solid plum fruit and a slightly abrupt finish.

Bright and lithe, happy but not ecstatic fruit. Lovely, just not exactly Super Bowl wine ;)

This needs a little air, 30-45 minutes brings out the full range of aroma and flavor of this basic, but very delicious Burgundy. More silky and refined NSG, so while also only a village wine the perfume is elegant florals, earth and red fruits.

Good, but ready to drink. Very savory in a briny olive way. Not as green as I thought it might be though.

Kinda oxidized smelling but fresh fresh on the palate (odd?). Pretty grippy on the finish. Drink up.

2000. In colors, #wine was cammo green and peanut butter brown. Insanely herbal on the front end, no fruit and slight oxidation.

In an amazing place. Gorgeous and really shows what this vineyard can do.

NSG VV. Opened at 8:15 drunk at 10:30 with grass-fed ribeye. Experience has taught me that Chevillon is a drink it young or old wine. Curiosity got the best of me. On opening: reduced, moderately tannic. Swirling glass aggressively opens up to red brambly fruit, some earth. With food after a couple hours: reduction has blown off, floral nose, red-fruited, bosky, earthy, ferrous. Palate reflects this, albeit with a more fundamental sweetness that's really lovely. I sense this will shut down fairly soon and be gorgeous on the other side. Rebuy. Sometimes, I haven't tried Chevillon in a while is a good question to ask and answer.
