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. 2017 has received enormous praise from all quarters: RobertParker.com wrote "reds are so fruit-driven and charming that they will drink well on release". This is a classic, best decanted. Then enjoy with panfried duck, other light game or spiced pilaf.
