93-97 points Fine Wine Review: "These are wines to look for. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is as reliable producer as I know in Burgundy, or anywhere, for that matter. You can buy every wine and every vintage with full confidence... The nose has spicy red fruits and shows finesse of Cailles. The mouth is spicy, pure, and round with finesse, but also some tannins to support aging. (2/6/16)"
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2014 les Cailles from the Chevillon family is equally stunning. The bouquet is deep, pure and remarkably vibrant, jumping from the glass in a blaze of cherries, pomegranate, nutskin, woodsmoke, gamebird, stunning minerality and a deft framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with great elegance and depth, laser-like focus and a very long, tangy and ripely tannic finish. An absolutely superb and classic example of les Cailles. 2022-2060. (Nov/Dec 2014)"
94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "The vines are particularly old here, planted in the 1930s and located to the north of Les Saint-Georges in the middle of the slope. This is quite a forward wine, with sweet oak, some ginger spice and succulent bramble and red cherry fruit underpinned by acidity. 2017-26. (Jan 2017)"
92-94 points and 'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines). A more elegant and more expressive nose evidences distinctly floral notes to the spicy red and dark currant aromas that possess excellent complexity. I very much like the silky texture of the concentrated and opulent mid-palate of the delicious and equally complex middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the beautifully long and balanced though mildly austere finish. As is usually the case this is built-to-age and will definitely need it. I would add that among the Chevillon big boys though that if you were going to try one young I would suggest this one. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2016)"
91-93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Dark red with ruby highlights. Very reticent nose hint sat candied berries and smoky minerals. Then sweet, sappy and brisk on the palate, delivering an exciting balance of sucrosité and mineral-driven acidity. The black raspberry and crushed-stone flavors mount impressively on the long, refined back end. Shows a medicinal reserve that suggests this wine will be a slow developer, but even today the tannins are nicely buffered by fruit. (Jan 2016)"
