Robert Chevillon Estate - The Essence of Nuits-Saint-Georges

A century-old family history

Located in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy, Domaine Robert Chevillon is the result of a family passion passed down since the early 20th century. The journey began with Symphorien Chevillon, who managed about thirty ares of vines under his own name. His son, Eugène-François, took over after World War I, acquiring several Premier Cru plots. Maurice, his successor, continued expanding the estate by purchasing new vineyards and diversifying activities with itinerant distillation. Today, Denis and Bertrand, Maurice's grandsons, uphold this family tradition by combining ancestral expertise with modern techniques to produce exceptional wines.

An exceptional terroir in Nuits-Saint-Georges

The vineyards of Domaine Robert Chevillon stretch across the prestigious slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges, benefiting from a complex geology of clay-limestone soils. This geological diversity, combined with varied exposures, allows for wines with rich and distinct aromatic profiles. Premier Cru plots such as "Les Chaignots," "Les Perrières," and "Les Saint-Georges" are particularly renowned for their ability to express the quintessential character of Burgundian Pinot Noir.

Sustainable and respectful viticulture

Understanding the importance of environmental preservation, Denis and Bertrand Chevillon practice sustainable viticulture, limiting the use of phytosanitary products and favoring manual interventions. Harvesting is done by hand, ensuring a meticulous selection of grapes to guarantee optimal quality. This respectful approach to the vine and terroir is reflected in authentic wines imbued with finesse and elegance.

Precise winemaking for exceptional wines

In the cellar, grapes are vinified with utmost care to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. Fermentations are conducted traditionally, with strict temperature control to manage the extraction of aromas and tannins. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which is renewed annually, to impart complexity and structure without overshadowing the wine's intrinsic character. This attention to each stage of winemaking results in harmonious cuvées that reflect the richness and diversity of Nuits-Saint-Georges' terroirs.

Signature cuvées recognized worldwide

Among the estate's flagship wines, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru "Les Chaignots" stands out with its deep ruby color and intense aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate, it offers a silky texture and remarkable length, testifying to its great aging potential. The Premier Cru "Les Perrières" captivates with its freshness and minerality, revealing delicate floral and stone fruit notes. Finally, the prestigious "Les Saint-Georges" embodies the pinnacle of the estate’s craftsmanship, showcasing exceptional aromatic complexity and depth, making it a must-have for Burgundy lovers and collectors worldwide.
