Mid crimson, deeper in the middle. Quite a rustic dark fruited nose. A cheerful darkish red fruit on the palate, some tannins, medium length. Doesn’t feel like a cool damp year, but nor quite with the joie de vivre of the finest vintages. Quite persistent. Drink from 2025-2029.
Product Description:
Domaine Robert Chevillon is a producer of high-end Pinot Noir wines in the Burgundy commune of Nuit-Saint-Georges.
The domaine's history dates back to the turn of the 20th Century, when Symphorien Chevillon tended vineyards in his own name. The property was passed down through the Chevillon family and grew to its present size of roughly 13 hectares (32 acres). Several plots owned by Robert Chevillon were in vineyards that were upgraded to premier cru, adding to the success of the domaine's wines.
Robert Chevillon was the first to bottle wines at the domaine instead of selling to négociants. He retired in 2003, passing the establishment onto his sons.
Chevillon has parcels in eight premier cru sites in Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine is known for having older vines in three of its premier cru vineyards, Les Cailles, Les Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges, some more than 75 years old. The domaine also makes Chardonnay, Aligoté and a Passe-tout-grains, though these carry broader designations and don't command the same prices as the premier crus.
