This wine has received consistently high praise from notable wine reviewers, each underscoring its distinctive qualities. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scored it between 91 and 93 points, commending its "notes of cassis, smoky berry fruit, spices and rich soil tones." The publication further described it as "medium to full-bodied, bright and concentrated" with a structure that is "a touch more structured and muscular than the Chaignots" (WK, 1/21/2022).

Vinous also awarded this wine a score range of 91 to 93 points, highlighting its dense concentration. Neal Martin from Vinous noted, "The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Bousselottes 1er Cru is very concentrated on the nose, almost impenetrable, with black cherries, bilberry jam and an almost honeyed element." He added that the palate is "dense, with plenty of sinew and fine acidity," indicating that the wine "will need considerable bottle age" (1/11/2024).

Burghound echoed similar sentiments, giving it a 91 to 93 point range and describing the wine as having a "less expressive nose" but "more complex with its array of poached plum, black raspberry, smoke, earth, and underbrush." The review praised the wine's "delicious, vibrant and beautifully delineated medium-bodied flavors" and noted that it has a "firm, serious and youthfully austere finish" (1/10/2022).

John Gilman from View From The Cellar rated it at 92+ points, remarking on its "black fruity" profile with a nose delivering "cassis, black plums, bitter chocolate, venison, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a deft framing of vanillin oak." He described the palate as "deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with lovely focus and balance, ripe, seamless tannins and a long, complex and still fairly primary finish" (11/1/2021).

In summary, the 2020 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges les Bousselots [Pinot Noir] is a well-regarded wine characterized by its deep fruit flavors, complexity, and structured profile. It shows potential for aging and has been consistently praised for its balance and depth.
