Brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon are the fifth generation managers of this property in Nuits-Saint-Georges, which means they work the vines and make the wines. Their father Robert, for whom the domaine is named, is still active as well. Both brothers bring passion, experience, a tireless work ethic, and intensity to their work at the domaine. Tasting through their palate of Nuits- Saint-Georges is a venerable tour of the appellation. Their Bourgogne is grown and vinified with the same care as their premier crus. It shows.

Ratings & Reviews
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy:
"Deep dark colour, dense deep purple, some reduction, dense dark fruit, interesting savoury sandalwood note to finish. Dark but juicy fruit, with a feel of Nuits-St-Georges about it."
89-91 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, taken from barrel because it undergoes a longer barrel maturation than many, has a generous, smudged strawberry and mulberry bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, and slightly confit-like, revealing brown spices toward the finish." – Neal Martin (Dec 2020)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, espresso roast and peony, the 2019 Bourgogne Rouge is medium-bodied, lively and gourmand, with melting tannins and a fleshy core of fruit." – William Kelley (Jan 2021)
