Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, December 2021

(90-94 points) Rich dark purple, black fruit, a little bit heated, then a rich bright dark fruit on the palate with a slightly fresher finish. This may well make it through, and the fruit shows the class of this excellent...

View From The Cellar, November 2021

The 2020 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges Les Cailles is a Pinot Noir hailing from the renowned Burgundy region of France. This red wine is noted for its elegant structure and complexity, making it a standout offering from the Nuits St Georges appellation.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 95, highlighting its "deep and seamless" nature. The review notes a blend of "cherry and berry fruit with hints of rose petals, orange rind, sweet spices and raw cocoa," describing it as "medium to full-bodied, suave and velvety" with "terrific concentration, fine tannins and lively acids." This review emphasizes the wine's elegance, marking it as the most refined in the Chevillon range.

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy rates the wine with a score range of 90-94, appreciating its "rich dark purple" color and "black fruit" aromas. However, Morris suggests that the wine is currently "a little bit heated," but recognizes the "rich bright dark fruit on the palate" and a "slightly fresher finish." There is a reserved judgment for the wine's potential, indicating that it could develop further complexity over time.

Neal Martin from Vinous gives a score range of 91-93, noting the presence of "red fruit on the nose" with a hint of "prune-like" and "confit-like" qualities. The wine is described as "medium-bodied with a patina of new oak," and Martin suggests that the "wood tannins on the finish" will need several years to integrate fully.

Overall, the 2020 Robert Chevillon Nuits St Georges Les Cailles is a promising wine with a sophisticated profile. With its excellent reviews and potential for further development, it stands as a notable example of the elegance and depth that Burgundy Pinot Noir can offer.
