Left Premier Cru Burgundy

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 92
"Here the lateness of the malos is in evidence as the nose is almost raw with traces of fermentation aromas and reduction though the medium plus weight flavors are detailed, racy and offer more minerality than usual. I tried this from several different barrels, including one from a new barrel that was further developed and the material is impressive and it's possible that my score could be conservative."

Antonio Galloni

AG 88
"Bright red-ruby. Cherry, redcurrant, leather and tobacco; offers a noble Nuits-Saint-Georges rusticity. Broad and sweet, with good minerality but a lower pitch than the Perrieres. A bit less open today owing to the later end to the malolactic fermentation. Finishes with substantial chewy tannins and hints of tobacco and leather." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Roncieres offers a fascinating Cabernet Franc-like hint of machine oil along with ripe red cherry, tobacco, cedar, and wood smoke in the nose. Clean, sweet, bright fruit makes for an intense and refreshing palate impression and the finish introduces carnal notes, faint bitterness of herbal concentrate, persistent ripe red fruit with invigorating tart fruit skin notes, and a hint of new wood that Chevillon says is there because this wine was so late to go through malo and to be racked out of its initial one-third new wood and into older barrels." -David Schildknecht
