Domaine Robert Chevillon: A Hallowed Nuits-St.-Georges Estate

While Nuits-Saint-Georges officially has no Grand Cru sites, those fortunate enough to taste the remarkable Premier Cru wines of Domaine Robert Chevillon might argue otherwise.

This hallowed estate is run by two brothers, Denis and Bertrand – fifth-generation growers and winemakers following in the steps of their father Robert, for whom the estate is named. Thanks to their steady leadership, William Kelley, the Burgundy critic for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has called Robert Chevillon “one of my favorite addresses in all of Burgundy, producing hearty, characterful wines that stand the test of time.”

The domaine crafts cuvées from eight exceptional Premier Cru climats, alongside meticulously sourced village wines, all of which showcase the unparalleled terroir of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It’s no wonder Neal Martin of Vinous hails these wines as the “yardstick for the appellation.”

Among their most coveted offerings are the Premier Crus Les Cailles, Les Saint-Georges, and Les Vaucrains – sites boasting vines that reach up to 100 years of age. These parcels yield extraordinary Pinot Noirs of depth, finesse, and structure, seamlessly balancing power with elegance. Offering all the hallmark refinement of Domaine Robert Chevillon, the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vieilles Vignes delivers remarkable value for such a distinguished producer in the Côte de Nuits.
