| Description: | Decanter 94 Points: "Very poor stony, chalky, soils are the source of this 0.6ha parcel close the town's famous quarry. This has quite a bit of sweet, aromatic oak, but it's balanced by flavours of strawberry and watermelon, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing, limestone-influenced finish.". Wine Advocate 92-94 Points: "Aromas of cassis, plums, grilled squab and rich soil tones, elegantly framed by new wood, introduce the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrires, a medium to full-bodied wine that's firmer and more tensile in profile, with a deep core of sappy fruit, structured around fine-grained, chalky tannins that assert themselves on the long finish. This was a little less put together than some of Chevillon's 2017s when I tasted it, but its excellent potential is impossible to miss.". John Gilman 93 Points: "It is such an embarrassment of riches in the Chevillon cellars in 2017! The Perrires is an absolutely classic example of this fine premier cru, offering up a red fruity nose of red plums, cherries, a touch of pomegranate, stony soil tones, pigeon, raw cocoa, roses and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and rock solid at the core, with great backend mineral drive, fine focus and grip, ripe tannins and a very long, very refined and promising finish. Great juice.". Burghound 91-93 Points: "This is at once elegant and earthy with its mix of red cherry, violet, anise and wisp of forest floor. There is a bit more volume to the vibrant, pure and seductive medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as powerful but even longer on the firmly structured and dusty finish. Despite the seductive mid-palate, the imposing tannic spine makes it clear that this is going to need at least some cellaring.". Vinous 91-93 Points: "The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Perrires 1er Cru has a more compact bouquet compared to the Les Bousselots, very focused and precise and natural in style; a faint oyster shell scent percolates through the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, hints of Moroccan spice and leather, lovely cohesion and just a hint of dark chocolate toward the finish. Excellent." |
