Nuit-Saint-Georges, Côte d'Or
Robert Chevillon
This is a 13ha Domaine of ultra-high quality. At the core of the Domaine are some impressive vineyard sites and enviable old vines. The quality is preserved by ‘less than greedy yields’ and confident winemaking eschewing fads, all of the wines demonstrate harmony, ripe fruit and structure thanks to both hard work in the vineyard by Denis (who insists on low yields and a strict grape selection) and to a fermentation and barrique elevage carefully controlled by Bertrand. The vineyards south of Nuits (such as Pruliers and Vaucrains) tend to have more muscle and drive while those nearer Vosne, such as the Chaignots and Bousselots, offer more on elegance and silkiness. This is one of the very best and most pleasure-giving domaines of Burgundy, not to mention one of the most reliable too. Many writers and commentators state that Chevillon is the best or equal best domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The Chevillon brothers are two of the most hardworking vignerons we know of in all of Burgundy, and this combined with skill and passion, plus a quiver full of mature and old vines (many in excess of 80yo) provides us with more than ample reasons to buy these wines year in, year out.
