Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er cru Les Perrières 2016

92-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Bertrand Chevillon said that losses due to the frost were from 50-80% of a normal crop... The fruit here is ripe, almost syrupy, but without sacrificing freshness or purity. Those lucky enough to obtain some of the wine will find that as usual, the quality here is superb... For the Perrières, the nose is characteristically stony with a bit of spice. The mouth shows more structure than the Roncières with good energy for the vintage, length, depth, and tension. The fruits are dark and there is minerality here. (11/29/17)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières has a more floral and mineral-driven bouquet, a bit of light after the broodier Roncier. The palate is medium-bodied with a confit-like entry, quite intense with concentrated with veins of fresh fig discretely interwoven into the red berry fruit. There is sense of compactness here and it is only in the last third that it stretches its arms. This is a lovely Les Perrières from Chevillon. Drink: 2021-2040. (Dec 2017)"

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2016 Perrières from Bertrand Chevillon is another outstanding wine in the making. This is utterly classic, offering up a beautiful aromatic synthesis of red and black fruit tones, stony soil elements, raw cocoa, gamebird, nutskin and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a sappy core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and a very long, vibrant and soil-driven finish. Gorgeous wine in the making. 2026-2065+. (Nov/Dec 2017)"

93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Plump red purple, generous fruit and a little oak, then a thoroughly attractive mineral laden finish. Great red fruit. Very fine detail at the back, a perfectly poised Nuits reflective of its terroir. (Jan 2018)

91-93 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .60 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). This is aromatically quite similar to the Roncières with perhaps just a bit more elegance. The more evidently mineral-inflected flavors possess a slightly finer mouthfeel while delivering excellent depth and length on the built-to-age finish. The Chevillon Perrières typically ages exceptionally well and the 2016 version will be no exception. Worth a look if you have the patience. Drink: 2028+. (Jan 2018)"
