Nuits-Saint-Georges
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, “Rue de Chaux”
SKU CNNR
Perhaps the “truest” of the Nuits appellations with its central location and gravelly soil structure; vines here of 30 or so years of age yield a wine that is severe in its youth but with substantial depth. Lots of “matiere” married to a mix of fruit and minerals that permit this wine to age gracefully.
About Jean Chauvenet
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.
