About this Item

2008 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges
1 (1 x 1) 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

‘This is much more restrained and reticent aromatically with a subtly spiced red berry fruit nose that precedes solidly concentrated and powerful medium full-bodied and well focused flavors underpinned by moderately firm tannins and plenty of underlying tension on the presently austere finish. A seriously lovely wine. Drink 2018+.’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92-94/100 (Jan 2010)
