About this Item

2012 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Domaine Robert Chevillon produces high-end Pinot Noirs in Nuit-Saint-Georges, Burgundy. The estate has been passed down through the Chevillon family since the turn of the 20th century and it now holds 13 hectares, including parcels in 8 Premier Cru Nuit-Saint-Georges sites. Several of Robert Chevillon’s plots were in vineyards that were upgraded to Premier Cru status. This had a large impact on the success of the domaine and their wines and reputation. Rather than continue selling to négociants, Robert was the first in his family to domaine-bottle his wines. He ran the family estate until 2003 when he retired; passing the management and winemaking on to his sons. The domaine is known for its older vines in their Les Cailles, Les Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges vineyard plots. Some are older than 75 years old.

Critics Ratings

'Bright red. Raspberry coulis and a note of menthol on the very ripe nose. A seriously rich and powerful village wine: round, sweet and horizontal. Red fruit flavors are complicated by saline notes of earth and smoky underbrush. Finishes long and sappy, but the serious tannins will require cellaring.' - Stephan Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Nov 2014)
