Jean Chauvenet 2016 – A No-Nonsense Nuits-Saint-Georges

A proper, no-nonsense Nuits-Saint-Georges from the classic 2016 vintage. Red and dark cherry fruit lead into subtle earth and a firm, savoury structure — restrained rather than flashy, and very true to place. It opens up nicely with a little air and rewards an unhurried glass. Drinking window: 2021–2028. ⸻ Producer Jean Chauvenet is a long-established, family-run domaine in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, known for traditional winemaking and a focus on balance over excess. The wines tend to age steadily and show their character through structure and nuance rather than upfront sweetness or oak. ⸻ Provenance & Storage Purchased through The Wine Society and then kept in their climate-controlled warehouse.
