2005 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières [stained label]

Description

Stony, limestone rich soils define the character of the 2005 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières, a vineyard often associated with a more tensile structural profile. The Chevillon family’s vineyard program, grounded in close observation of soil depth and drainage, informed decisions around pruning, interrow cultivation, and canopy architecture. The site’s exposed position and incline required careful management of shoot growth during a warm, dry season. As harvest approached, repeated sampling across the terraced sections guided picking sequences aimed at capturing optimal phenolic maturity. Fermentation proceeded with controlled temperatures and measured extraction, followed by maturation in French oak selected through ongoing cooper trials to preserve precision. This cuvée contributes to the domaine’s broader exploration of how Nuits-Saint-Georges’s varied limestone formations distinguish its premier cru vineyards.
