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 Premier Cru Les Perrières 2022 is a refined and structured Pinot Noir from a southeast-facing 0.60-hectare parcel on the slopes of Nuits. The wine opens with vibrant aromas of macerated cherry, stone fruit, licorice, and balsamic pine resin, with subtle hints of savory and animal notes. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a lush, velvety texture, lively acidity, and firm minerality that give it both depth and age-worthiness. The finish is marked by chalky tannins and a steely grip, suggesting excellent potential for cellaring. Vinified with 100% destemmed fruit, extended cold maceration, and aged for about 18 months in 30% new oak, Les Perrières 2022 reflects the Chevillon style of elegance and terroir expression. This wine pairs beautifully with richly flavored dishes like duck, goose, or game birds.
