About this Item
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
‘A supremely elegant and pure ripe red pinot fruit nose combines with medium full flavors that seem as though they are the distilled essence of pinot and while this is exceptionally ripe, it seems to give away nothing in terms of either elegance or precision. This is one big wine, indeed almost massive with superb power and grand cru calibre length yet everything remains in perfect balance. A great, great effort for the vintage and one to buy.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-94/100 (Jan 2005)
