This was offered for tasting, this year, after the les St. Georges, and without seeing them side by side, I'd say it was darker and more closed. Certainly it's very deep and rich with a great and long backbone. Randall
'[..] The vibrant and well-detailed middle weight flavors that also possess only average concentration though there is again excellent balance and length as well as more complexity. This lovely effort is the class of the Chevillon range in 2023.'
92-94 points, Outstanding - Allen Meadows, Burghound
'...especially good this year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berry preserves, cassis, spices, vine smoke and dark chocolate, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with rich tannins, ripe acids and a long, perfumed finish. The inherent charm of the vintage has tempered this site's tendency to imposing structure to deliver an unusually open young Vaucrains.'

'[..]The high-class nose suggests the power to come as well as the rock below. Everything is immaculately in place. Excellent tension, with the fruit staying more on the red side of the divide. Very pure, balanced and very long. 94-97 points, 5 Stars - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
'The inherent elegance of the very finest red wines of the 2023 vintage is very much on display in Bertrand Chevillon’s young Vaucrains this year. The wine delivers a beautiful nose of black cherries, black plums, dark berries, venison, espresso, a great base of soil, a touch of nutskin, vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and properly reserved out of the blocks (as young Vaucrains always will be), with a bottomless core of sappy fruit, fine soil inflection and grip, ripe tannins and a long, classy, well balanced and chewy finish. Great juice.' 95 points - John Gilman
