Jean Chauvenet Vosne-Romanée "Aux Raviolles" 2019 750ml

Domaine Chauvenet produces small quantities of a superb Vosne-Romanee from the “Aux Raviolles” lieu-dit in the on the southern border with Nuits-Saint-Georges. This bristles with energy-blasted rock and tingling Asian spices soaring upward on the expressive nose, while vibrant acid and fruit interplay and Nuits-like “sous-bois” drives the palate through to a ringing and satisfyingly long finish. Less firmly tannic than its Nuits-Saint-Georges brethren, this nonetheless offers chiseled tension and a lip-smacking, saliva-inducing character that is very much a signature of Christophe Drag’s wines.
