Domaine Jean Chauvenet is a 25-acre Nuits St. Georges estate with parcels in nine appellations. Since 1994 it has been run by Christophe Drag and his wife Christine. Christine is Jean Chauvenet’s daughter, and the Chauvenet family has been making wine in the area since the 17th century. Vines in the domain’s parcels are an average of 45 years old. Clive Coates has noted that “quality has been fine here for a decade or more. The tannins are more sophisticated, the fruit expression richer and classier, the flavors more complex: all because there is more attention to detail, more control and no stems.”
