"I noted as we were tasting Monsieur Chevillon’s Perrières that Jean-Nicolas Méo was now making a Perrières as well, and he noted that he was aware of this because the Chevillon rows of vines are directly beside those used to make the Méo-Camuzet bottling. The family resemblance between the two bottlings is quite striking when tasting them so close together, with the expressions of terroir almost identical, and simply a bit more new oak showing in the Méo bottling. The nose on the Chevillon 2004 is excellent and still quite primary, offering up notes of medicinal cherry, dark chocolate, incipient notes of the venison to come, strong minerality, vinesmoke and a bit of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and deep to the core, with firm, well-integrated tannins, sound acids, and good length and grip on the long finish . . . . should prove to be an excellent bottle."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
