2006 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges vielles vignes, alc 13%...nose is of cherry and branches...the palate is dark and dense with earthiness and underbrush...no wood showing ...nice overall structure and mouthfeel...a bit subdued but gives some pleasure already...likely to open up nicely with time....glad it was on sale and I picked up several bottles...

How much did you pay in the U.S.? Saw this in Paris today, to my shock.

Wow. 30, i.e. about $45, here.
I always get annoyed at U.S. pricing versus ours, outside the cellar.

If it makes you feel any better Sharon, $32.50 is a pretty good price. Kermit's pre-arrival pricing on the '07s is $50.
I drank a grey market bottle of this back in January and didn't dig it. It was almost slick, with quite ripe, borderline new world-y fruit and toasty vanilla/mocha aromatics. I don't think the wine sees much new wood, so I didn't know what to make of it.
I later tasted most of the 1er crus from the vintage (non-grey) and really enjoyed them for the most part, which only furthered the confusion.
I have two more bottles of the village wine that I'm afraid to open.

But I don't think you want to compare a super-sale price in the US with standard Paris pricing. There's plenty of overpriced stuff here too!
