Left Cote de Nuits

Bertrand and Denis Chevillon are fifth generation farmers and winemakers who have been running the venerable domaine named after their father, Robert, for several decades. As Burghound notes, their reputation for producing some of the very best wines in Nuits-St-Georges is impeccable.

The bustling village of Nuits has been the commercial center of the Cote-de-Nuits for generations, a gateway to the liquid gold of some of the world's most famous vineyards. However, without any Grand Cru of its own, Nuits' own wines have been unfairly overlooked.

But the wines of Chevillon are a happy exception. They have small parcels of old vines in some of the very best terroirs in the village, and so their 1er Crus have been appreciated by Burgundy lovers for many years. In the U.S., a long standing partnership with famed importer Kermit Lynch has been helpful too.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94
"This is particularly ripe yet the nose is fresh and expressive with its dark raspberry fruit, earth, violet and slightly sauvage notes but the big, robust and amply muscled flavors are brooding to the point of being intensely primary and borderline backward. This is the most structured wine of the range but there is so much extract that the tannins are almost completely buffered, which will permit a long if slow evolution. This is a dramatic effort that isn't quite as classy as the Les St. Georges or Les Cailles but it is likely to be the last wine standing as it were some decades hence."

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"Superripe aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and leather; a bit less minerally and floral than the Saint-Georges. Powerful, brooding and large-scaled on the palate but currently locked up tight and showing less sweetness than the Saint-Georges. But this big boy really saturates the palate. With its serious tannic clout and leathery soil tones, this is classic Nuits-Saint-Georges." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 95
"Of all the Chevillon wines, their 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains (like their Cailles and Les St.-Georges, from roughly 80-year-old vines) displays the greatest density, stoniest minerality, most piquant nuttiness, and deepest, darkest, blackberry and beet root 'fruit' character. The overall impression is breath-taking in its sheer concentration, yet rather somber and brooding in personality, with an emphasis on piquancy, bitterness and stoniness. Toasted walnut and hickory, cherry pits, black chocolate, stones, and charred meat inform this wine’s powerful, penetrating finish. Were it not for a persistent primary blackberry juiciness and the great refinement of its abundant tannins, this would border on the hyper-concentrated."
