2008 Chauvenet Jean Nuits St.Georges Aux Argillas

The nose is wide and mineral, showing a herby element. Full and round with a slight padding to the texture. The tannin is fine with hint of grab in the mid-palate but this helps cement the flavours to your gums. A good finish!

The nose delivers dark aromas, accented with coffee. Lots and lots of fine tannin but balanced by sweet, fresh, dark fruit in the mid-palate, though the fruit decays faster than the tannin so it’s the predominant finishing experience – I expect they will slowly fade to bring better finishing balance though.

Medium, medium-plus colour. A beautiful nose of warm, sweet dark fruit. Full and round with more sweet dark fruit, hints of licorice – lovely flavours that leach across the palate and into the finish. Despite the power there is some delicacy of delivery.

Deep colour. Mainly dark fruit aromas – some is even blackcurrant. Full and powerful yet the tannin remains in the background. With its dark, sweet fruits this is a very convincing wine!

Deep colour. Again an expression of dark fruit, though I have slight preference for the precision offered by the Perrières. Wide, perhaps a little too full, good tannin. The one area where I feel this ‘betters’ the Perrières is the slightly more interesting complexity of the finish.

Again the aromas showcase very pretty red fruits, this time with plenty of cherry. The fruity flavours have an almost floral dimension. There is more concentration and structure, but everything is on an understated level.

On the nose there’s darker red fruit, more impact and density too. This is a little fuller and offers more structure balanced with a mid-palate flavour that lingers into the finish. Mouth-watering flavour – very good.

The darker-red fruit aromas have a lovely depth and slowly a floral width develops too. Fuller with very good depth of flavour – you can almost taste the violets! Lovely.
