Les Bousselots is the Chevillon premier cru that leans toward Vosne-Romanée, in where it sits and in how it behaves, and in 2017 it was one of the first reds in the cellar to open up. The vineyard lies in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, facing south-east at 255–280 metres on gravel, limestone, clay and silt. The name is a nice bit of trivia: it comes from "terrain bosselé," because this was once bumpy, uneven ground. Nuits is known for muscle, but Bousselots trades some of that for perfume, with a spiced bouquet, velvety fruit and a hint of Vosne's aromatic delicacy. Brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon are the fifth generation to run the estate. They farm eight different premiers crus across the appellation, plough the soils, spray only when they need to and fully destem their grapes. The family describes Bousselots as fairly austere in its youth, so a vintage that was this open and giving this early is worth noticing. If you want a Chevillon premier cru that doesn't make you wait, this is the one.

Burghound

"There is a lovely perfumed quality to the very fresh red currant and newly turned earth scents where a trace of the leather creeps in. I very much like the texture of the medium-bodied and lightly stony flavors that possess very good mid-palate density as well as solid power on the firm and serious but not really rustic finale. At least some patience will be required."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Bousselots 1er Cru has a very pure bouquet that does not have quite the charm and complexity of the Les Chaignots. The lightly spiced palate is medium-bodied with pastille-like red berry fruit and good structure toward the chalky-textured finish. I like the linearity of this saline, marine-influenced Nuits Saint-Georges, but I need to find more substance." —Neal Martin

"The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots is very promising, bursting from the glass with a fragrant bouquet of rose petal, orange rind and small red berries. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and succulent with tangy acids, melting tannins and a long, perfumed finish." —William Kelley

"A warm and generous wine that has a good future, this is still structured with plenty of tannins. It is juicy, with chunky black fruits as well as layers of acidity. The wine comes from a vineyard just north of the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Drink from 2023." —Roger Voss

More about Robert Chevillon

Domaine Robert Chevillon is basically the gold standard for Nuits-Saint-Georges. The estate has belonged to the Chevillon family for generations, and today brothers Denis and Bertrand (fifth generation) make wines from eight Premier Cru terroirs plus meticulous village cuvées. Robert Parker's critic William Kelley called them 'one of my favorite addresses in all of Burgundy.' These are characterful, age-worthy, utterly Burgundian. No compromise.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck breast with a cherry or red-wine jus; coq au vin; roast quail with wild mushrooms; mushroom and thyme risotto; Époisses or Comté to finish.

Tasting Profile

Perfumed and spiced on the nose, with a delicate, Vosne-like lift. The fruit is velvety, and the wine came across as open and giving early on. 13.5% alcohol.
