Domaine Robert Chevillon — The Classical Depth of Nuits-Saint-Georges
Located in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Robert Chevillon stands among the most historic and respected references of the Côte de Nuits. Rooted in a family lineage established since the early 20th century, the domaine has built its reputation on a rigorous understanding of terroir, meticulous viticulture and remarkably consistent winemaking.
Today, the estate is run by Bertrand and Denis Chevillon, representing the fourth generation. Their work preserves a deeply classical vision of Burgundy: wines of structure, precision and longevity, shaped by the diverse climats of Nuits-Saint-Georges and guided by a discreet, respectful approach in both vineyard and cellar.
The spirit of the estate
A benchmark domaine for Nuits-Saint-Georges, Robert Chevillon expresses Pinot Noir with depth, restraint and authenticity. The wines combine firm yet refined structure, mineral energy, pure fruit and impressive ageing capacity, offering one of the most faithful readings of the appellation’s finest Premier Cru terroirs.
Terroir: the great climats of Nuits-Saint-Georges
The domaine covers around 13 hectares, exclusively within the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. Its holdings form an exceptional mosaic of climats, including some of the most sought-after Premier Cru vineyards in the village. This diversity allows the estate to express the many faces of Nuits-Saint-Georges, from mineral tension and finesse to density, power and deep structure.
Vineyard work is carried out with respect for natural balance: controlled grass cover, light ploughing, moderate yields, manual harvesting and minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. This careful approach preserves the identity of each site and gives the wines their clarity, depth and terroir-driven precision.
