Description

This is an under-the-rader domaine which has 9.13 hectares of vineyards exclusively in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Currently run by Christophe Drag, son-in-law of Jean Chauvenet. This wine came from a parcel totalling 0.55 hectares with just over six barrels made this year. There's a good tension here, and the wine is energetic and lightly kissed by oak. The palate is full, ample, supple and smooth, making this a pleasure to drink.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 90-92/100
Deep ruby color. This is very ripe 2021 with its aromas of dark berry liqueur, violet and cool spiced tea. There is excellent underlying tension to the delineated and stony middleweight flavors that conclude in a moderately austere and well-structured finale that offers fine length. As with the Damodes, at least moderate patience will be necessary.
