The 2003 has a typically (for the vintage) ripe, almost New World, Martinborough-like nose with macerated dark cherries and just a touch of burnt match. The palate is well balanced and sinewy, robust and rather bold tannins, thick and a little brawny perhaps but it has a very correct, tannic finish that is completely in synch with the layers of ripe fruit.

Producer Information

Domaine Robert Chevillon is a producer of high-end Pinot Noir wines in the Burgundy commune of Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine’s history dates back to the turn of the 20th Century, when Symphorien Chevillon tended vineyards in his own name. The property was passed down through the Chevillon family and grew to its present size of roughly 13 hectares (32 acres). Several plots owned by Robert Chevillon were in vineyards that were upgraded to premier cru, adding to the success of the domaine’s wines. Robert Chevillon was the first to bottle wines at the domaine instead of selling to ngociants. He retired in 2003, passing the establishment onto his sons. Chevillon has parcels in eight premier cru sites in Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine is known for having older vines in three of its premier cru vineyards, Les Cailles, Les Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges, some more than 75 years old. The domaine also makes Chardonnay, Aligot and a Passe-tout-grains, though these carry broader designations and don’t command the same prices as the premier crus.
