About this Item

2005 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Les Bousselots
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.

Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Bousselots is one of the premier cru vineyards within the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. The vineyard is located on the southern end of the appellation and is known for producing wines of depth, structure, and complexity.

Critics Ratings

‘Here there is another slight rise in phenolic ripeness with a mix of red and blue berry fruits, earth and a very subtle touch of wood spice that complements the rich, full and sappy medium full flavors that are textured, complex and attractive, all wrapped in moderately structured finish that delivers impressive length. I like the subtle minerality and this is harmonious, transparent and beautifully well balanced.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jan 2007)

‘Good bright red-ruby. Red cherry, licorice and a whiff of leather on the nose. More tightly wound than the Chaignots and more mineral in character. This is much more primary wine, with a firm tannic spine.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (March 2007)
