"Of all the Chevillon wines, their 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains – like their Cailles and Les St.-Georges, from roughly 80-year-old vines – displays the greatest density, stoniest minerality, most piquant nuttiness, and deepest, darkest, blackberry and beet root “fruit” character. The overall impression is breath-taking in its sheer concentration, yet rather somber and brooding in personality, with an emphasis on piquancy, bitterness and stoniness. Toasted walnut and hickory, cherry pits, black chocolate, stones, and charred meat inform this wine’s powerful, penetrating finish. Were it not for a persistent primary blackberry juiciness and the great refinement of its abundant tannins, this would border on the hyper-concentrated." - David Schildknecht, robertparker.com (Apr 29 2007)
