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.

Vinous (91-93)
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Bousselots 1er Cru veers much more toward red fruit on the nose, hints of meat juice and garrigue emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite saline and cohesive, leading to an energetic, peppery finish that lingers. Another promising NSG from Chauvenet.Inc. VAT£270.72 -
Burghound (90-93)
(from a parcel on the northern end). Firm reduction masks the fruit though there is again a beguiling sense of underlying tension suffusing the detailed and stony medium-bodied flavors that flash good power on the moderately austere and lingering if mildly warm finish that is supported by relatively fine-grained tannins. In contrast to the Damodes that could reasonably be enjoyed young, this compact effort is clearly in need of at least moderate to longer-term cellaring.Inc. VAT£450.35 -
(12x75cl) 2017Burghound (91-94)
(from a .41 ha parcel). A fresh, cool and brooding nose only grudgingly reveals its aromas of dark currant, game, violet and plenty of earth that are trimmed in more discreet though not invisible wood. The dense and sappy big-bodied flavors possess evident power and muscle before concluding in a driving finish that is expressly built to age. This is potentially outstanding but once again, it’s a classically youthful, compact and austere Vaucrains that will need every bit of 15 years to reveal all it has to offer.Inc. VAT£868.01 -
Jancis Robinson (17+)
Deep cherry red. Intense black fruit and savoury/stony restraint combined. All in embryo, like the Perrières but here the tannins are even firmer. The core is serious dark fruit and some oak spice but it is not intrusive even if it adds a note of dark chocolate to the aroma as it opens in the glass. Fine tannins slightly thickened by the oak but smooth and in harmony with the fruit. Long, savoury finish. (JH)Inc. VAT£564.72 -
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.Inc. VAT£151.32 -

Burghound (91-93)
Ripe yet cool aromas include those of cassis, poached plum, an array of spice elements plus a whiff of the sauvage. The very rich and even bigger and more voluminous large-scaled flavors also brim with sappy dry extract before culminating in a balanced, powerful and lingering finish where a touch of bitter chocolate slowly emerges. This isn’t massive in the way that it usually is though it is borderline opulent, which is a descriptor I use very rarely with respect to the 2021 reds.Inc. VAT£164.52 -

Burghound (91-94)
(from a .41 ha parcel). Reduction. The much bigger broad-shouldered flavors also possess outstanding density and power while exuding evident minerality on the precise, firm and very serious finale that delivers excellent length where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is usually the undisputed best wine in the range but in 2022, the Perrières may well give it a run for its money.Inc. VAT£504.80 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Rich purple, an even colour throughout the glass. Robust red fruit. There is a fine depth of flavour and some class here, plump in the middle, juicy and long, filling the mouth again, while keeping a mineral fresh feel too.Inc. VAT£99.72 -
(6x75cl) 2022Burghound (91-94)
(from a .23 ha parcel). Firm reduction. Here the super-fresh and vibrant medium weight flavors are not as concentrated or powerful but they are notably finer as well as more mineral-driven on the firm, serious and overtly austere finale. This possesses excellent potential but it isn’t a wine for youthful drinking.Inc. VAT£437.09 -
Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Mid crimson. Deep-fruited and much more perfumed than the straight village Nuits-St-Georges. A marked step up in finesse. Dry, finely chalky tannins. Sinewy but elegant with that perfume on the long finish. Impressive persistence. (JH)Inc. VAT£278.29 -
Burghound (88-91)
A subtle but not imperceptible application of wood can be found on the ripe and fresh aromas of poached plum, fennel and soft earth nuances. The rich, concentrated and palate coating medium-bodied flavors are shaped by relatively refined tannins on the lightly stony, punch and youthfully austere finale. Worth considering.Inc. VAT£369.20 -
Vinous (87-89)
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Village offers sensual red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit on the well-defined nose. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins. An unashamedly approachable and malleable Village Cru with a rounded, plump finish.Inc. VAT£342.72
