90-94 points Fine Wine Review: "Chevillon’s Nuits-Roncières is less deep than the previous two wines (we’ve switched here from the Côte de Vosne to the central part of Nuits) but more stony with ripe tannins that are most evident. The overall profile of the wine is one of coolness. (Issue #130; 2011)"

90-93 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.0 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines). Moderate wood influence does not unduly hamper the attractiveness of the otherwise fresh and bright earthy and high-toned red pinot fruit suffused nose. The rich and solidly structured medium-bodied flavors possess copious amounts of mid-palate sap, which is a good thing because the impressively persistent finish is firm to the point of being chewy. This is potentially the best example of the Chevillon Roncières that I have ever seen from cask though note that patience will be required. Drink: 2019+. (Jan 2011)"

90-93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright, dark red. Cooler aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, smoke and minerals. Juicy, tight and firmly built; sweet but not at all cooked. This pure, fruity wine shows very good energy from calcaire Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lovely lingering perfume. An excellent early showing for this wine. (Jan/Feb 2011)"
