Domaine Jean Chauvenet, Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021
Red Wine from France - Burgundy
Roy Richards (renowned British wine merchant) and Christophe Drag made a blend unique to The Wine Society, composed principally of the Charmottes and Saint-Jacques vineyards. It is a blend of vineyards from the northern part of the appellation, which makes softer wines than those of the southern part. Good black fruit, balanced structure and a fresh finish. Drink from 2028 to 2032.

Domaine Jean Chauvenet
Christophe Drag makes the wines here in a typically chunky Nuits style which benefits immensely from keeping. The 9.5ha domaine has a large slice of village vineyards, over 7ha, together with a lovely series of premiers crus which includes Rue de Chaux, Les Damodes, Les Bousselots, Les Perrières and Les Vaucrains. Les Vaucrains is a majestic wine possessing a great structure and length of flavour.
Recently Christophe has moved to grassing down the rows, a technique which reduces vigour, yield and botrytis all of which has a favourable effect on the quality of the wines. The grapes are destemmed, cold soaked for a few days to extract colour before fermenting up to about 32°C. The wine is then aged in barrel, usually with one racking, for about 18-20 months.
