About this Item
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
Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint Georges 1e Cru Les Pruliers 2001
‘Mid ruby. Dark red fruit in the mulberry spectrum. Mellow, finely velvety texture, maturing with some sous bois to the meatiness and mellow fruit. Tannins nicely soft. Decent acidity. Lovely.’ - Cellartracker.com, 92/100 (Dec 2017)
Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint Georges 1e Cru Les Chaignots 2001
‘Good full red. Aromas of plum syrup, espresso, smoke and earth. Sweet, fat and nicely concentrated, with red berry and sweet oak flavors. Offers very good texture for 2001, and finishes with rather soft, board tannins.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Mar 2004)
Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint Georges 1e Cru Les Perrières 2001
‘Rich and full and beguiling. Very charming. Dry end. Quite astringent. Fresher than Aux Chaignots.’- Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2003)
Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1e Cru Les Vaucrains 2001
‘More angular than the 2002. Some real sweet richness – though less sweet than the 2001 – with liquorice notes. Some mineral notes underneath. Very racy and energetic. Long and sinewy – offers more than sheer power. Very classy.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Sept 2014)
