Burghound, 92-94 Points 

"Note: from a .60 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines. Here too there is just enough wood present to point out on the more sauvage-inflected aromas of earth and violet along with a similar touch of poached plum. The velvety and palate coating medium-bodied flavors possess both good power and an almost pungent minerality on the youthfully austere, compact and quite serious finish that is built for the long haul. This is also excellent but not well that it's not going to drink especially well young. *Burghound Sweet Spot!*" 

Jasper Morris, 92-94 Points 

"Rich bright purple excellent intensity on the palate with a real crunchy mineral finish thanks to the stones. A pure and fresh vigorous red fruit. The Perrières is a bundle of energy this year. Drink from 2030-2037." 

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

"The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières shows both the warmth of the vintage and the rockiness of this terroir. Offering up aromas of rich dark fruits and plum preserve, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a sun-kissed core of fruit that's underpinned by lively acids and chalky tannin. Domaine Robert Chevillon is one of my favorite addresses in all of Burgundy, producing hearty, characterful wines that stand the test of time. Old vines, cultivated soils, moderate yields and long macerations at comparatively high temperatures with entirely destemmed grapes are the order of the day at this address, with the Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes seeing some 20% new oak and the premiers crus 30%. Nuits's Tonnellerie Sirugue is the dominant supplier of barrels." 

Vinous, 90-92 Points 

"The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Perrières 1er Cru is one cuvée that perhaps suggests a little over-ripeness on the nose, with touches of fresh dates infusing the black fruit. There is also an attractive floral element that will hopefully become more pronounced once in bottle. The medium-bodied palate has some oak to be subsumed on the entry and fine acidity. It’s quite a thickly textured Nuits Saint-Georges with a touch of candied orange peel on the finish. Personally, I prefer the elegance of the Roncières."
