Jean Chauvenet, the founder of this domaine, built this domaine into one of the most highly respected producers working the vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges. 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.
