Description

Red Wine: 2020 | Domaine Robert Chevillon | Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes

The bouquet is beautifully pure and sappy, jumping from the glass in a mix of black cherries, plums, dark chocolate, a touch of nutskin, gamebird, a fine base of soil tones and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and shows off plenty of mid-palate depth, with lovely focus and grip, tangy acids, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and very well-balanced finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is structured and concentrated, bursting with aromas of dark berries, plums, rose petals and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and lively.

• Allen Meadows: Dark berry fruit coulis is laced with notes of earth and spice. The delicious middle weight flavors possess excellent punch before culminating in a sleek, intense and only mildly rustic finale.

Producer Information

Domaine Robert Chevillon is a producer of high-end Pinot Noir wines in the Burgundy commune of Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine’s history dates back to the turn of the 20th Century, when Symphorien Chevillon tended vineyards in his own name. The property was passed down through the Chevillon family and grew to its present size of roughly 13 hectares (32 acres). Several plots owned by Robert Chevillon were in vineyards that were upgraded to premier cru, adding to the success of the domaine’s wines. Robert Chevillon was the first to bottle wines at the domaine instead of selling to négociants. He retired in 2003, passing the establishment onto his sons. Chevillon has parcels in eight premier cru sites in Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine is known for having older vines in three of its premier cru vineyards, Les Cailles, Les Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges, some more than 75 years old. The domaine also makes Chardonnay, Aligoté and a Passe-tout-grains, though these carry broader designations and don’t command the same prices as the premier crus.
