Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits-St-Georges 2019
Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC
Nuit-St-Georges specialist Domaine Chauvenet makes "very promising" wines, declared critic Neal Martin. Elegant, expressive and deliciously 'friendly'. That's certainly true of this "hedonistic" (JM) 2019. Lots of ripe red fruit, with silky tannins.

Burgundy expert Clive Coates MW writes that Domaine Jean Chauvenet “produces some of the most stylish, elegant wines in Nuits-Saint-Georges”, an opinion shared by many. Since 1994 the wines have been made by Jean’s son-in-law Christophe Drag, who brings an energy and modern approach to the winemaking, instilled during his years at the Beaune wine school. After a traditional fermentation, this old-vine cuvée was aged in oak barrels to achieve a delicious, smooth and fragrant character. 2019 has received high praise from the critics. James Suckling said, for Burgundy, this vintage has 'hit the bullseye'. It's drinking beautifully now but has the potential to age. Best decanted, then enjoy with pan fried duck, other light game or spiced pilaf.
