2012 vintage. Opened two bottles and decanted both. Merest hint of sed in both. Raspberry/cranberry nose with menthol, earth and those berries riding shotgun. Really integrated currently and an absolute pleasure to sample a 1er Cru at the top of its game-at lunch. Should hold steady in this phase another 7-8 years. That’s good news since we’ve got two bottles left. Don’t suspect they’re long for this world tho. 10.17.25. — 8 months ago

My first encounter with this producer and from my research, it's owned by the wine school in Beaune. The school runs a full-fledged domaine so students can learn hands-on in the winery and vineyards. Wine sales from the domaine also keeps the school independent, without relying on any grants. In total, the school operates an impressive 23+ hectares of vineyards, across 20 different appellations. My guess is that the hectarage is a combination of ownership, metayage, and fermage. For instance, the Beaune Les Teurons here is composed of two parcels owned by the French State and the city of Beaune, but farmed by the school.

This was the only wine during lunch that wasn't blinded, so it formed an interesting baseline for blinding the 17' Chevillon Les Vaucrains. The nose was so different - more red-fruited and spicy, with a rather candied edge. The palate was friendlier in some sense - juicy and soft, yet all underpinned by bright acidity. The perception of acidity was certainly more here than in the Chevillon, which is perhaps heightened by the less muscular density. Tannins present themselves in the finish, but more integrated and satiny than the Chevillon (more fine powder). Doesn't quite match the length of the Chevillon, but still moderately long with earthy, almost-mineral notes dominating. Overall, enjoyable and educational, but brings less interest to the table than the Chevillon. — 5 years ago

Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux – Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes 2022
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France 🇫🇷

Overview
Crafted from old vines (Vieilles Vignes) in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this 100% Pinot Noir captures the appellation’s signature structure and depth. Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux is a respected family estate that farms traditionally, bottling wines with both authenticity and age-worthy finesse. Unlike the silkier Chambolle-Musigny or the perfumed grace of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges is known for its firmer tannic backbone and savory, earthy character, making it one of Burgundy’s most robust expressions of Pinot Noir.

Aromas & Flavors
Opens with dark cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry layered with subtle spice, forest floor, and a gentle mineral streak. Hints of violet and dried herbs lend additional elegance.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, silky yet firm, with polished tannins and bright acidity carrying through to a persistent, savory finish. Youthful now, but its layered fruit and backbone suggest strong aging potential.

Winemaking Notes
Old vines (many 40–60 years of age) deliver concentration and depth. Traditional Burgundian vinification with careful élevage in French oak barrels (a proportion new, though never overpowering).

Food Pairing
Perfect alongside roasted duck, mushroom-based dishes, lamb chops, or simply a classic coq au vin. Its balance of fruit and earthy complexity makes it versatile with Burgundian-style cuisine.

Verdict
A benchmark Nuits-Saint-Georges VV—structured yet refined, with depth of fruit, mineral poise, and a sense of place. One to enjoy now with decanting, or cellar for 8–12 years for even greater reward. — 10 months ago

Definitely had this as a lesser grand cru by process of elimination in our blind options, as without them I wouldn’t have had it in grand cru territory. This was so light in comparison with the NSG’s, especially the 19’ pair. It wasn’t exactly a bad thing though as I really enjoyed the energy of the wine.

Red-fruited and spicy aromas, along with hints of flowers and black tea. The palate was probably the juiciest of the lot, with a very silky feel, and lovely salinity. Drinking it side-by-side with the other burgs, this was more mineral than the Chevillon and MG, but didn’t quite have the intense minerality of the Grivot. Like the 12’ Chevillon, I felt it didn’t quite have the depth nor intensity of the 19’ pair. Wonder if vintage played a big factor in this observation. All said, I found this very elegant and better of the two 12’s. — 2 years ago

Heavy floral aromas on the nose, light hints of cherry and fruit on the palette, very intricate flavor but still possesses the underlying earthy tones of a classic Burgundy Pinot Noir grape. 2023 vintage, so a little on the young side, but opened up nicely after 30 minutes. — 4 months ago

An exercise in balance. Proper oak seasoning like a pinch of salt - does its job, enhances, doesn't get in the way. Employed in typical Burgundian policy. Elegant subtle apricot peach, starfruit and vanilla. The mouth has good texture and flavors of peachy vanilla wafer, almond skin bitter decent. — 4 years ago

Medium+ Ruby, youthful pronounced aromas of fragrant red berry fruits, pepper, smoky and earthy notes. On the palate vibrant flavors of black raspberry, strawberry and cherry with notes of forest floor. Medium+ acidity with soft rustic tannins on long finish ending with cedar and earthy character. Very nice now will improve in the cellar! — 5 years ago
