Neal Martin i The Wine Advocate
This has good lift on the nose, although the palate lacks a little attack. Animally, primal and almost feral with a Chambolle-like finish. It does not like you - but you like it. Drink 2011-2018. 90-92 point

Producer note: Bertrand Chevillon was frank when he said "late August and September saved us. I honestly don't know what we would have been able to make without them but it probably would not have been very good. Interestingly, we really didn't have all that much sorting work to do and what we did was mostly to eliminate under ripe berries. We began picking on September 1st and brought in fruit that averaged around 12.5% potential alcohol with good phenolic maturities and acidities. We did a normal vinification that lasted about five weeks. By contrast, the malos were extremely long and slow and the wines really didn't take shape until afterwards. As to the style of the wines, they remind me of the 2000s but with even redder fruit profiles, except the Vaucrains and Les Cailles where the fruit runs more toward the black side of the spectrum." (Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, CA; H&H Bancroft, Justerini & Brooks, The Wine Treasury and Seckford Wines, UK).
Tasting note: A mix of red and blue pinot fruit is nuanced by touches of earth, underbrush and a smoky hint that is also reflected by the round and notably richer medium-bodied flavors that are more concentrated, delicious and serious while culminating in a solidly long finish. A good if not truly distinguished villages." 86-89 Point

"Dense with black cherry, blackberry and iron flavors, this is a masculine, firmly tannic red. Slightly dry on the finish, but decanting now or cellaring should help. Best from 2010 through 2017. -BS" 88 point

"Dried and lightly-cooked cherries and leather scent and flavor the Chevillon 2007 Nuits-St.-Georges Vieilles Vignes, which offers faintly dusty tannins and a slight sense of attenuation of fruit in its modest finish. There is mouth-filling satisfaction here, but I would plan on enjoying it within the next couple of years.
Bertrand Chevillon reported the typically late, long malos of the 2008 vintage, and the Chevillon crus were not bottled until last spring – subsequent to my tastings of them, which took place in part assembled from tank and in part from representative selections of barrels. Interestingly, Chevillons report a normal crop level, stressing that vigilance and diligence in vine treatments made for a healthy crop. Most of the musts weighed-in between 12.5% and 13% potential alcohol and chaptalization was minimal. Bernard Chevillon compares his family’s 2008 with their 2001 –an underestimation, I suspect – and his 2007s with the less interesting, structured, fresh-fruited, or consistent 2000s, an analogy that strikes me as apt. (The Bourgogne and Les St.-Georges, incidentally, had been committed right down to the bottle chez Chevillon by the time I got ‘round to tasting 2007s, hence the absence of notes on those.)" 87 point
