Pure mid purple with a really encouraging mixed red and black fruit nose. Great energy. Deliciously juicy, more red than black on the palate, quite a bit of oak that it will digest easily. This is a great start to the range.
John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The inherent power of the 2018 vintage chez Chevillon is readily apparent from the first wine in the lineup this year, as this is a big, deep and pure example of old vine Nuits AC. The bouquet is ripe and sappy, jumping from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, venison, chocolate, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and ripely tannic, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine focus and grip and a long, nascently complex and chewy finish. This will be the first wine to come forward in the stables this year, but I would not touch a bottle until it has seen ten years flow swiftly by. 2028-2055+.
Wine Advocate - William Kelley
Aromas of cherries, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and wild berries introduce Chevillon's 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a generous core that's framed by rich, powdery tannins. This is a muscular Nuits that contrasts with its supple, sappy 2017 counterpart.
