Burgundy and Pinot Noir are responsible for some of the world’s finest wines. Not heavyweights, but reds that deliver an amazing panoply of flavours. Family-owned Domaine Jean Chauvenet has a reputation for producing “some of the most stylish, elegant wines in Nuits Saint Georges” (Clive Coates, MW). Since 1994 the wines have been made by Jean’s son-in-law Christophe Drag, who brings a meticulous approach to the cellar, instilled during his years at the Beaune wine school. Les Bousselots is a 1er Cru plot north of the village of Nuits Saint Georges. Planted in 1984, it now produce low yielding, intensely flavoured grapes. You'll taste that in the wine, along with the subtle spice from time in barrel. Decant early or, ideally, cellar.

"Dark, spicy fruit, very Nuits in its fruit aroma. There’s a touch of floral perfume with air" Jancis Robinson MW
