Domaine Chevillon-Chézeaux
Domaine Chevillon-Ché ;zeaux was founded in 1887 by Eugè ;ne-François Chevillon, who inherited a few parcels of vines from his father. He was succeded by Eugène Chevillon.In 1946, the domaine was split between his two sons, Georges and Maurice and in 1947, Domaine Georges Chevillon grew with the acquisition of a parcel of vines in the most famous premier cru vineyard of Les Saint-Georges. Then, in 1963, his son Michel joined him at the domaine, together with Michel?s wife Pascale. After Georges?s retirement in 1988 the domaine was renamed Domaine Michel Chevillon.1999 saw the turn of Michel & Pascale?s daughter Claire to take over the running of the estate. Her husband joined her in 2000 to create Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux, which today consists of 8 hectares of vineyard across 14 different appellations.
Working methods and winemaking have remained traditional throughout the domaine?s history. The grapes are harvested by hand. The juice goes through a slow, cold pre-fermentation for 5 or 6 days for better aromatic extraction, maceration of about 18 ? 21 days in open vessels to allow punching down, pneumatic pressing, and ageing in oak barrels for 12 ? 18 months.

" This is really the Domaine's home turf and they've done a stirling job here. Complex with thick, ripe fruit and good levels of acidity. The wine is developing well already but will certainly benefit from a few years careful cellaring... "
