Nuits St Georges les Vaucrains, Domaine Jean Chauvenet 2010

**Note: from a .41 ha parcel**
A fresh but brooding and reticent nose only grudgingly gives up scents of pure essence of black cherry, cassis and earth with the telltale sauvage notes. The rich, supple and impressively deep broad-shouldered flavors possess an abundance of mid-palate concentration as well as plenty of dry extract that largely buffers the notably firm tannic spine on the palate staining and wonderfully long finish. This is a seriously impressive Vaucrains and one that should amply repay extended cellaring.
