2019 | Domaine Jean Chauvenet | Nuits Saint Georges Les Vaucrains

Sweeter, riper, with a cassis quality fro very ripe, forward, plush fruit. Lovely poise and elegance, but also plenty of power, with a creamy concentration of fruit.

Producer Information

Christophe Drag makes the wines here in a typically chunky Nuits style which benefits immensely from keeping. The 9.5ha domaine has a large slice of village vineyards, over 7ha, together with a lovely series of premiers crus which includes Rue de Chaux, Les Damodes, Les Bousselots, Les Perrières and Les Vaucrains. Les Vaucrains is a majestic wine possessing a great structure and length of flavour. Recently Christophe has moved to grassing down the rows, a technique which reduces vigour, yield and botrytis all of which has a favourable effect on the quality of the wines. The grapes are destemmed, cold soaked for a few days to extract colour before fermenting up to about 32°C. The wine is then aged in barrel, usually with one racking, for about 18-20 months.
