Burgundy 2017: ROBERT CHEVILLON

Robert Chevillon.jpg

 

This much loved Domaine in the heart of Nuits has been run by hard working brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon since their father Robert retired in 2003.  With a dazzling array of 1er Crus from across the appellation it is one of the highlights of any visit to the region.  

The impressive 2017s will only bolster the brother’s growing reputation - attractive, silky, fruit forward wines that will drink well young but have the ability to age well too.  Grand Cru quality at Premier Cru prices!

 

"This Nuits Saint-Georges-based grower is on a roll. Brothers Denis and Bertrand Chevillon, the latter preferring to remain out of the limelight, have turned in a raft of exquisite wines over the last decade. Since the late 1990s, the wines have become increasingly refined, intense and pure, testified to by a 1995 Les Saint-Georges poured blind by Denis Chevillon that I felt was rustic compared to the 2017s just tasted... The standout is a stunning Les Vaucrains. When we briefly chatted about the credentials for Les Saint-Georges becoming a Grand Cru, I suggested that maybe Les Vaucrains merits promotion just as much. Chevillon did not disagree."

"Chevillon rarely misses and they definitely did not in 2017"

Selected Highlights
  
2017 NUITS ST GEORGES LES CAILLES 1er Cru - £450 per 6x75cl IB - “excellent richness and a highly beguiling vibrancy to the well-detailed and stony medium-bodied flavors that deliver a lovely combination of punch and finesse on the sneaky long finish. In sum, this beautifully well-balanced effort is Zen-like. Sweet spot Outstanding"  92-94pts Allen Meadows
