Description

The birth of Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux is in 1887 by the will of Francois Chevillon who inherited from his father some vineyards in the Cote de Nuits near Nuits-Saint-Georges deciding to start producing the first bottles. The big breakthrough came in 1947 when his nephew George bought plots in the 1er Cru Les Saints Georges vineyard, expanding the family property and introducing cultivation techniques in the vineyards along with new aging methods faithful to tradition. Today they have reached the 5th generation with Claire Chevillon and her husband Philippe Chezeaux who together since 2000 have managed the estate totaling only 7 hectares that include some of the most famous appellations for Pinot Noir. All their quality lies in the savoir-faire, decidedly refined and above standards in which vine care is the basis with short pruning, leafing and low yields to obtain superb clusters. Work in the cellar is perfect and clean, fermentations in wooden vats with frequent “pigeage” which consists of pushing the pomace into the must so as to promote maceration and have more extraction of polyphenolic components, pumping over and aging in oak barrels (20% new) for 12-16 months depending on the appellation and vintage, no clarification and filtration before bottling. If you visit them you breathe only Burgundy air.
