Domaine Robert Chevillon Description
Brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon are the fifth generation managers of this property in Nuits-Saint-Georges, which means they work the vines and make the wines. Their father Robert, for whom the domaine is named, is still active as well. Both brothers bring passion, experience, a tireless work ethic, and intensity to their work at the domaine. Tasting through their palate of Nuits- Saint-Georges is a venerable tour of the appellation. Their Passetoutgrain, a blend of Pinot and Gamay, is a worthy introduction and their rare (two barrels made) Nuits-Saint-Georges Blanc made from the “Pinot Gouges” is an exotic treasure that ages just as long as the domaine’s fabled reds. And their Bourgogne Aligoté, Bourgogne Chardonnay and Bourgogne Rouge are grown and vinified with the same care as their premier crus. It shows.
Sourced from a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles ler Cru has a bold and forthright bouquet with black cherries, black plum, crushed violet and just a touch of fig. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and gentle grip. It is fresher on the finish than the Les Pruliers, with fine tension and length. This is very promising - the terroir shows through beautifully.
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles is serious and concentrated, unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries and plums mingled with orange zest, peonies and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a deep and layered core of fruit, refined tannins and a resonant finish, it's a terrific wine in the making.
Burghound: 92-95 Points
An ultra-fresh nose exhibits an airy array of essence of red cherry, cranberry and lavender that is trimmed in noticeable but not intrusive wood. The cool, pure and equally fresh medium weight flavors possess terrific vibrancy along with first-rate delineation on the refined, focused and youthfully austere finish that delivers sneaky good length. The innate class of a fine Cailles is clearly present and I very much like the overall sense of harmony. If you can find it, buy it.
