Domaine Robert Chevillon Description

Les Cailles is derived from the word cailloux, or pebbles, not the common assumption that it is derived from the modern meaning, “quails”

From a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines

Wine Advocate: 93-95 Points

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of cassis, plums, dark chocolate, grilled squab and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly layered and complete, it's muscular but refined, with a rich chassis of ripe tannin and an ample core of fruit, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.

Vinous: 92 Points

The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru is showing a little Brettanomyces on the nose that detracts from the delineation. Yet, there is some nice brambly red fruit trying to get out. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, nicely proportioned with a surprising keen thread of acidity. Structured, nice grip with decent persistence, this has potential. 

Burghound: 90-92 Points

The natural refinement of Les Cailles is very much on display with its cool, pure and airy aromas of red and dark pinot fruit along with a lovely range of spice, tea and discreet earth nuances. As is usually the case, this is notably more refinement to the strikingly well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that possess an almost pungent minerality though the finish, while impressively long, is a bit grippy and a touch warm as well. This is still quite good but I fear the hail damage will prevent this from achieving its usual level.
