93 Domaines Devillard 2011 Dom des Perdrix Aux Perdrix Premier Cru (Nuits-St.-Georges).
A dense wine, rich and smooth for a Nuits-St-Georges, full of ripe red fruits, dark cherries and acidity that almost gives the wine a fresh character. Behind this fruitiness is a more solid, dark structure of tannins that will allow the wine to age.

91 Domaines Devillard 2011 Dom des Perdrix Les 8 Ouvrées Premier Cru (Nuits-St.-Georges).
Dark colored, very concentrated wine from this small parcel within the Aux Perdrix Premier Cru. The wine has a fine juicy character from red berry fruits, packed with spice, soft toast flavors and a firmer inner core. It’s for aging, a solid, foursquare wine.

94 Domaines Devillard 2011 Domaine des Perdrix (Echézeaux).
Ripe and smooth, this is a light take on this Grand Cru. Red berry fruits are still smothered by the wood aging which brings in a strongly toasty element. The wine though has potential as it comes into balance, elegant and stylish.

92 Domaines Devillard 2011 Château de Chamirey Les Ruelles Premier Cru (Mercurey).
This is a serious, rich, concentrated wine. It has weight, density and a powerful structure that offers black cherry and plum fruits. Dominated at this
stage by a dry, tannic core, it needs to age.
