(BH92-95 points) A more elegant and slightly more complex nose combines notes of plum, anise, sandalwood, warm earth and various wild dark berries. There is first-rate density to the focused and unusually powerful flavors that deliver simply huge length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. As it virtually always is chez Chevillon, this classy effort is the finest if not the most complex of their "big three".

(WA93-95 points) The 2015 Nuits Saint George's 1er Cru Les Cailles, which tends to produce low yields, has a rich but much more composed and detailed bouquet compared to the Pruliers this year. The palate is medium-bodied with candied orange peel and brown spices infusing the red berry fruit, fine tannins with a vivacious, lightly spiced finish with great length. This has swagger, sophistication and is just plain delicious - one of Bertrand's favorite wines this vintage and one of mine too. - Neal Martin
