(2394 views) | | | Tasted by ddrewboy on 6/1/2007 flawed bottle: cooked wine. Got a refund. Will get another bottle (2490 views) | | | Tasted by Kahalu'u Bob on 3/26/2007 & rated 88 points: Much the same as previous bottle. I don't get the cherry others speak of, but it is medium dry to my palate, which suggests a hint of sweet fruit (cherry?). I think it is nicely balanced with the acid, which makes a pleasant, light, drinkable wine. (2484 views) | | | Tasted by Kahalu'u Bob on 9/12/2006 & rated 88 points: Light color; light nose. Little tannin, slightly acidic, but a nice balance. Overall, a light, pleasant wine. (2749 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Andersen on 6/30/2006: Light red cherry fruit on the nose. On the palate, rather high-pitched, almost shrill red cherry. High acid profile. (2682 views) | | | Tasted by elfez on 6/3/2006: Tasty, but bracingly acidic. Not my favorite. (1451 views) | | | Tasted by dbkitc on 5/30/2006: Light ruby/cherry to clear at rim. Juicy, red cherry nose that is very distinct. A touch of mossy green frames the bright red fruit – this is very enjoyable. The wine is light bodied, yet it dances across the palate with a touch of acidity to support the bursting fruit. This wine is just delicious for drinking over the next 12 months. (14) (1519 views) |
| Domaine Robert Chevillon Producer website
U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)
The adventure started with Symphorien Chevillon who started working approximately thirty acres of vines at Nuits-Saint-Georges in his own name.
Then, Eugène-François (around 1914), following 2 years of military service and 5 years of war, took over the domain and bought a few plots as Premier Cru.
In 1946, the vines were taken over by the 2 sons (they separated later on).
Maurice bought 2 stills (39) and (46) and became an itinerant distiller. He continued to expand the Domain by buying new plots of Premier Cru.Gamay-Pinot Noir BlendDiolinoir 100%France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
