Domaine Robert Chevillon traces to the late 1800s when Symphorien Chevillon began selling fruit to négociants. In 1946, Robert became the first family member to bottle wines rather than sell fruit, growing the estate from 3 to 14 hectares and elevating it to legendary status before retiring in 2003. Denis and Bertrand Chevillon (fifth generation) now produce "hearty, characterful wines that stand the test of time." They cultivate eight Premier Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges, including Les Vaucrains—one of the appellation's two finest climats, known for structured, long-lived wines with exceptional aging potential. The 2013 vintage was cool and complicated, producing light to medium-bodied wines with prominent acidity—not typical Nuits power. Yet Chevillon's 2013 Vaucrains is "potentially great": pure, full-bodied, tightly-knit, with plums, black cherries, cocoa, herbs, ripe firm tannins, and vibrant, balanced finish. Drinking window 2025-2075. An archetypal expression from challenging conditions.
