Jean Chauvenet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021

Comprising a sizable proportion of the domaine’s production, this village-level Nuits-Saint-Georges comes from four vineyards in the northern sector of the appellation: Aux Allots, Aux Saints Jacques, La Petite Charmotte, and Aux Saints Juliens. With an average vine age of 50 years, this cuvée is ruggedly and proudly Nuits in character—ultra-spicy on the nose, with layers of freshly-turned earth, plummy black fruit, and firm minerality. The impressively energetic palate emphasizes linearity over mass, with lean yet concentrated fruit and a bracing, cleansing finish. This complex wine encapsulates the house style beautifully and offers striking value.
