The Winery

Robert Chevillon

The Chevillon family has been producing truly terrific Red Burgundy for four generations. Robert Chevillon’s sons Denis and Bertrand, the current generation, place great emphasis on the handcrafted nature of the Chevillon wines. They prune early and often, and have a green harvest in July to control yields. Harvesting is done by hand as is sorting and anything that isn’t up to the Chevillon’s exacting standard is eliminated. Here at Benchmark Wine Group we are thrilled to offer such an extensive collection of these beautiful wines.

Tasting Notes

WA88
Smoked meat and fresh red currant and red raspberry in the nose of Chevillons’ 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Vieilles Vignes lead into a bright, tart-edged, saliva-inducing palate performance that finishes with vintage-typical exuberance and invigoration, its bit of astringency easily forgiven it. I’d be inclined to plan on serving this over the next 4-6 years bearing in mind its vivacious and tart personality, though perhaps compensatory polish and deepening of flavors will reward those who hold out a few years longer.
