Very impressive nose, where an earthy, bracken depth of fruit displaying truffle and smoky qualities marries bold, dark cherry and blackberry fruit. A fine edge of sweetness on the palate has a slightly caramel quality, with a rounded, juicy plum and red cherry core. Supple, with a dry tannic background really filling in quite dense and full, and good acidity. A lovely, powerful but not inelegant style.

About this wine
Robert Chevillon is a renowned producer of Burgundy wines, located in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Founded in the late 19th century, the winery has been passed down through four generations of the Chevillon family. The winery is known for its exceptional quality and attention to detail, producing some of the finest wines in the region.
The Les Chaignots 1er Cru is a classic example of the winery's style. This red wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Les Chaignots vineyard, located in the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested, before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, giving it a complex and intense flavor.
The Les Chaignots 1er Cru is a full-bodied and well-structured wine, with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with a long and persistent finish. This is a great example of a classic Burgundy wine, and is sure to delight any wine lover.
