2022 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Blanc "Vieilles Vignes", Burgundy, France
2022 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Blanc "Vieilles Vignes", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Though Nuits-Saint-Georges is predominantly red wine territory, Domaine Robert Chevillon crafts a small quantity of white from old Chardonnay vines planted in limestone-rich soils just outside the village. Labeled as âVieilles Vignes,â this cuvĂ©e comes from low-yielding vines aged 50+ years, farmed sustainably and harvested by hand. The 2021 vintageâa cool, classically styled yearâemphasized finesse and structure, making for a particularly refined white.
Fermentation takes place in oak barrels (a modest portion of which are new), followed by 12â14 months of aging on lees, with gentle bĂątonnage as needed. The result is a wine that balances the weight and texture of old-vine fruit with the precision and mineral drive characteristic of the northern CĂŽte de Nuits.
While delicious young with dishes like poached fish, roast chicken, or vegetable gratin, this wine also has the structure to develop gracefully over 6â8 years, gaining complexity and a nutty, savory edge with time.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Robert Chevillon is one of the benchmark estates of Nuits-Saint-Georges, known for producing some of the appellationâs most soulful and age-worthy red wines. Now run by brothers Denis and Bertrand Chevillon, the domaine continues to operate with the quiet confidence and precision that have defined it for generations. They work with exceptional vineyard holdings across Nuits-Saint-Georges, including a number of top Premier Crus, and maintain a deep respect for traditional Burgundian farming and winemaking.
Though best known for Pinot Noir, the Chevillons have long cultivated a small amount of Chardonnayâtreating it with the same care and attention as their reds. Their white wines are marked by clarity, balance, and textural finesse, offering a rare glimpse into a lesser-known but deeply rewarding side of the CĂŽte de Nuits.
