Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er cru Les Perrières 2023

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "The colour offers a huge depth of royal purple. A most impressive bouquet, weight and concentration without heaviness, very stony beneath which helps to leaven the power of the fruit. (Nov 2024)"

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Bertrand Chevillon’s 2023 les Perrières is truly a beautiful wine in the making. It offers up a deep, pure and black fruity bouquet of plums, black cherries, stony soil tones, bitter chocolate, pigeon, woodsmoke, vanillin oak and a lovely floral topnote of violets. On the palate ht wine is deep, full-bodied, sappy at the core and beautifully defined by its underlying minerality, with ripe, buried tannins, impeccable balance and a long, precise and complex finish. A fine, fine bottle. 2038-2085. (Jan/Feb 2025)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières has turned out nicely, delivering aromas of cassis, violets and plums, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple palate framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the chalky, mineral finish. (Jan 2025)"

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .60 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). A riper and more deeply pitched nose is composed by notes of poached plum, newly turned earth and a hint of humus character. The beautifully textured and vibrant, if not especially dense, flavors also possess evident minerality on the dusty, mouthcoating and youthfully austere finale. I really like the balance here and this is a wine that should age well. Drink: 2033+. (Jan 2025)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Perrières 1er Cru was another cuvée that showed some reduction on the nose. Nevertheless, the palate is very promising and a little less opulent than that of the Roncières, with a mix of red and black fruit, a hint of allspice and light savory notes toward the finish. The pH seems a little lower here, resulting in a fresher finish. Give this two or three years once in bottle. Drink: 2027-2043. (Jan 2025)"
