Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux
The family makes their wines from their home in Nuits St Georges, just a few hundred metres off the main N74. Their vineyards include no less than six 1er Cru sites, amongst which is the most enjoyable yet relatively unknown Les Busselots white, as well as parcels of Hautes Cotes de Nuits in both red and white. Decanter magazine's January 2007 list of Key Players in Nuits St. Georges states: "This little-known property is run with enthusiasm by Philippe Chezeaux, who is gradually adopting organic viticulture. No more than 20% new oak is used to age the wines. The style of the wines is structured without any harshness, and they can be beautifully fragrant." Articles About Domaine Chevillon-ChezeauxReviewed Wines2004 Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux Bourgogne 12.5%, $17. Imported by Weygendt-Metzler, Unionville, PA. · On the lighter side of garnet, this wine offers cherry, woodsy and floral scents. The sour cherry flavors are thin and lead to a finish of mouth-puckering acidity and notable tannic grip. Reviewed October 14, 2007 ARTICLE »
