The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Burgundy - Nuit-Saints-Georges
A perfectly ripe, exceptionally well-balanced top-end Burgundian red from a leading domaine that favours elegance and poise over power and showiness. A lovely deep colour in the glass with aromas of dark berries and a mix of sweet and savoury spice. The palate has plenty of fruit up-front but there is a crisp minerality that underpins this fruit and keeps it from becoming the only driving force on show. There's plenty to enjoy about this wine right now, but it will reward some patience and is likely to get even better given a few years of careful cellaring.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Christophe Drag
Jean Chauvenet's wines are widely regarded as some of the most refined and sophisticated in the entire Nuits-Saint-Georges region. During his time at the helm, Jean focused on expanding the estate's vineyard holdings and bottling exceptional Premier Cru wines under the domaine label. In recent years, the family's winemaking legacy has been carried forward by his son-in-law, Christophe Drag. Though a relative newcomer to the family business, Christophe has taken on the responsibility of nurturing the estate's 'vins de terroir', bringing fresh energy and dedication to the careful cultivation of the vineyards, while preserving the traditions that have made Jean Chauvenet's wines so highly esteemed.
"There is undoubted power in this cuvée, but we're really pleased that it still retains the tension we look for in all our bottlings. With chewy red berry fruit and floral hints to add some prettiness, this is a wine for now and the future." - Christophe Drag, Winemaker.
