Good to Know: Domaine Robert Chevillon is a storied estate rooted in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a legacy spanning over a century. Founded in the early 1900s by Symphorien Chevillon, the domaine has been carefully expanded and refined through generations of family dedication. From Eugène-François' post-war stewardship to Maurice’s acquisitions of Premier Cru plots, and eventually to Robert, Denis, and Bertrand Chevillon, each generation has contributed to its growth and reputation. Today, brothers Denis and Bertrand carry on the family’s passion, crafting wines celebrated worldwide for their finesse, complexity, and deep expression of Burgundy’s unique terroir.
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots 2021 is an elegant and expressive Pinot Noir from the northern slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges, where the chalky-gravel soils lend finesse and freshness to the wine. It opens with a fragrant bouquet of red berries, peonies, forest floor, exotic tea, and spice, offering a balance of floral lift and earthy depth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with juicy fruit, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained tannins that lead to a plush, mineral-tinged finish. Aged for 15–18 months in oak (around 30% new), this Premier Cru showcases the domaine’s signature refinement and terroir-driven style. Approachable in its youth but capable of graceful aging, Les Chaignots 2021 pairs beautifully with duck, game, and richly flavored poultry dishes.
