Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots Domaine Chevillon 2020

Deep ruby with purple highlights, the 2020 Chaignots opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, layered with violet, spice, and a touch of earth. The palate is concentrated and firmly structured, with ripe black fruit framed by fine but persistent tannins. Notes of liquorice, graphite, and mineral spice emerge as the wine unfolds, while bright acidity gives precision. The finish is long and powerful, marking this as a classic Nuits of depth and ageing potential.

Domaine Robert Chevillon is regarded as one of the benchmark producers of Nuits-Saint-Georges, renowned for crafting wines of consistency, clarity, and terroir expression. Les Chaignots, a well-placed premier cru on the northern side of the village, is known for producing wines that balance structure with a certain aromatic lift. In the warm and generous 2020 vintage, Chevillon has captured both ripeness and freshness, yielding a wine that combines immediate depth with the backbone to reward long cellaring.
