95 JG. "The 2009 les Cailles from the Chevillons is simply stunning, as it soars from the glass in a flamboyant nose of black cherries, blood orange, bitter chocolate, stunning minerality, woodsmoke, a touch of gamebird, dried violets and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure, with a great core of fruit, bright acids, ripe tannins and magical length and grip on the youthful and intensely flavored finish. This is a great, great example of Chevillon les Cailles." John Gilman, View From the Cellar #30, Dec 2010 |
