A spicy, cool, pure and wonderfully airy nose of purple and dark berry fruit gives way to rich, dense and seductively textured flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the otherwise firm tannins on the mineral-inflected, long and classy finish. This is a focused and intense wine of style and grace that should amply reward long-term cellaring. In short, this is flat out wonderful. Score: 94 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2020+ 14 January 2013 |

The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Cailles comes across as cool, mineral infused and a bit reticent. With time in the glass the aromas and flavors begin to take shape. The Cailles remains a firm, structured Nuits that will require considerable patience, but its expressive fruit and gorgeous inner perfume bode very well for the future. Menthol, graphite, spices, tar and licorice wrap around the persistent, saline finish. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035. I have to say, this is a stunning set of wines from Denis and Bertrand Chevillon. Score: 94 - 96 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020-2035 23 December 2011 |
