Jean Chauvenet
Domaine Jean Chauvenet is a Burgundy domaine on a clear upward trajectory under mercurial winemaker Christophe Drag.
A family-run domaine of 10 hectares almost entirely in Nuits-St-Georges with an enviable clutch of seven Premiers Crus, it remains an insider's secret on the Côte de Nuits until recently. Gaining itself some serious fans including Jancis Robinson MW and Julia Harding MW, whilst Jasper Morris MW describes their wines as "some of the most elegant and stylish in the whole Nuits-St-Georges area". Burghound's Allen Meadows agrees, stating that Chauvenet 1ers Crus are "among the best wines" in Nuits-Saint-Georges with an abundance of finesse and elegance all whilst maintaining a deeply pitched, classic Nuits core of intensity and profundity.

Burghound (91-94)Outstanding - This is aromatically quite similar to the Perrières if perhaps just a bit earthier. The slightly larger scaled flavors are surprisingly supple on the mid-palate that contrasts materially with the firm tannins on the compact and youthfully austere finish. This is less powerful and forbidding than normal, though with that said, it's still sufficiently structured to reward 12 to 15 years of aging. |
