There is no doubt that if Domaine Robert Chevillon were located in Vosne-Romanée or Chambolle-Musigny, their wines would be almost impossible to find and would command exorbitant prices. Being situated in Nuits-Saint-Georges, a village without grand cru sites, has allowed these wines to remain relatively under the radar for many consumers. That said, they are among the most accomplished wines of Burgundy, consistently producing results that defy vintage challenges — achievements seen only at a handful of the finest addresses across the Côte.
Now under the stewardship of Robert Chevillon’s sons, Bertrand and Denis, this passionate pair of vignerons pursue the finest possible expression of Pinot Noir. After meticulous vineyard care throughout the year, grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and destemmed before undergoing a 5–6 day cold maceration in vats, followed by natural fermentation lasting 2–3 weeks. Maturation continues for 15–18 months in a combination of 30% new and 70% second-use barrels.
