DOMAINE ROBERT CHEVILLON
Bertrand Chevillon: “I like the (2006) wines as they’re fresh, balanced and energetic and remind me somewhat of the 2000s in the sense that they will offer early drinkability though they’re definitely more classic in style.” –Burghound (Photo: Denis & Bertrand Chevillon)

2006 CHEVILLON Bourgogne Rouge $32 ($27.20 cs price)

2006 CHEVILLON Nuits St. George Vieilles Vignes $65 ($55.25 cs price) “An exceptionally pretty nose for a wine at this level with an earthy mix of red and black pinot fruit where the earth continues onto the round, delicious and relatively firm middle weight flavors underpinned by ripe tannins and fine length. This is a solid villages. 89 pts.”–Burghound

2006 CHEVILLON Nuits St George “Les Roncieres” $85 ($72.25 case price) “A discreet background of wood spice highlights more deeply pitched aromas of red and blue berry fruits plus violet and game hints that slide into concentrated and admirably rich medium-bodied flavors that evidence obvious minerality on the wonderfully long and impressively deep finish. Highly Recommended. 92 pts.”–Burghound

2006 CHEVILLON Nuits St. George “Les Vaucrains” $105 ($89.25 cs price) “A brooding and much more reserved nose is densely fruited with notes of plum, blueberry, earth and a subtle sauvage hint that mouth coating and impressively concentrated flavors that positively explode on the gorgeously long finish. As it always is, this is a big and powerful wine yet with a bit more elegance than usual. Terrific and potentially the class of the range in 2006. 94 pts.” –Burghound

2006 CHEVILLON Nuits St George “Les St. Georges” $105 ($89.25 cs price) “Here the equally elegant fruit profile runs more to the red side of the spectrum though it is perhaps not quite as complex yet the rich, round and stylish flavors are actually more complex with a delicious, powerful and seriously long finish that packs a real punch. A wine that should mature well over the medium term. 93 pts.” –Burghound

2006 CHEVILLON Nuits St George “Les Cailles” $105 ($89.25 cs price) “As one would expect, this is much finer and more elegant with notably ripe dark berry and plum fruit that evidences a distinct trace of an earthy spiciness that is also picked up on the round, pure and detailed flavors that are nothing but velvet on the delicious, long and balanced finish. As it always is, this is brimming with buckets of old vine sap. A wine of finesse. 93 pts.” –Burghound
