Notes from Kermit Lynch Wine Merchants:

"Brothers Bertrand and Denis Chevillon are the fifth generation managers of this property in Nuits- Saint-Georges, which means they work the vines and make the wines.  Their father Robert, for whom the domaine is named, is still active as well.  Both brothers bring passion, experience, a tireless work ethic, and intensity to their work at the domaine.  Tasting through their palate of Nuits- Saint-Georges is a venerable tour of the appellation."

One of the oldest known microclimates, planted as far back as 1000 A.D. Became part of the Confrerie of Saint-Georges in 1470, for which Nuits-Saint-Georges was named at the end of the 19th century. Eastern sun exposure. 245-260 meters in altitude, with a grade between 7-8%. Considered on the level of Grand Cru by many.
