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 0.60 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines
Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Bousselottes ler Cru has a sensual and generous bouquet: more red fruit character than the Chaignots, redcurrant and macerated small red cherries with touches of pressed violet. Again, the palate is composed on the entry, quite opulent and sensual. It retains control and focus towards the finish with a touch of white pepper and bay leaf. Lovely.
Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
Aromas of cherries, dark berries, plums, raw cocoa and spices introduce the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered wine with supple tannins, lively acids and a sapid finish. It's a touch deeper-pitched and more structured than the Chaignots.
Burghound: 91-93 Points
A subtle but not invisible application of wood sets off more deeply pitched aromas of plum, dark currant and a hint of forest floor. There is both more volume and power, if a bit less refinement, to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess the classic youthful austerity of a classic Bousselots. This too is lovely though note well it is built-to-age.
