Domaine Robert Chevillon

Although created five generations ago by Symphorien Chevillon, the estate takes its name from Robert Chevillon who brought the domaine to its current stellar reputation from the 1960s and until today. His sons Denis and Bertrand have managed the estate, which now totals 13ha, since 2003. Most of this land is in the best Premiers Crus of Nuits-Saint-Georges including 0.63ha of Les Saint-Georges, 1.18ha of Les Cailles and 1.55ha of Les Vaucrains. These are often considered the best Premier Crus of the appellation and the Chevillon wines are rich in fruit making them gorgeously drinkable fairly young. This can be deceptive because they retain the ability, despite their seductive elegance, to age to great advantage. 

Like Domaine Henry Gouges, Domaine Chevillon owns an incredible line-up of 8 old vines Premier Crus vineyards in Nuits Saint Georges and the total area under vines is almost 13 hectares. They produce attractive, fruit forward wines that drink well relatively young but also have long aging potential. The wine making is traditional, with 100% destemming, cold maceration followed by slow fermentation, and spend 18 months in oak, 25-30% of it new (for the premier crus). The result is elegant, structured, fruity, fine and complex wines, made for long aging but also accessible at a relatively early age.
