Domaine Jean Chauvenet Description

From a 0.31-hectare parcel of 40-year-old vines planted in silty sandy soils, Domaine Chauvenet produces small quantities of a superb Vosne-Romanee from the “Aux Raviolles” lieu-dit, situated in the southern sector of Vosne-Romanee near the border with Nuits-Saint-Georges. Less firmly tannic than its Nuits-Saint-Georges brethren and with an underlying elegance from the site's sandy soils, this wine displays chiseled tension and a lip-smacking, saliva-inducing character that is very much a signature of Christophe Drag’s wines.

This domaine is one of the most highly respected producers working the vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges. With no less than seven premier crus complemented by serious Bourgogne Rouge and Villages-level cuvées, the comprehensive scope of vineyard holdings over their 9.5 hectares is among the greatest in the appellation. The wines of Nuits-Saint-Georges are not soft in their youth, but that is the true character of the terroir: robust tannins, dark fruit, and a mineral infusion from the iron-inflected soils that, taken together, can only come from this singular district. The estate’s holdings are farmed with the underlying objective of achieving certification as an organic grower in the coming years. Harvest is manual. Vinification is classic with 100% destemming and a brief period of cold maceration followed by two to three weeks of cuvaison, the length of which is determined by the appellation and the inherent structure of each wine. A decanting follows and then the wine is moved into small barrels where the malolactic occurs. An elevage of about 18 months occurs and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
