Chauvenet Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Perrieres 2015

Chauvenet Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Perrières” 2015

A beautifully mature expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges from one of the appellation’s most respected traditional domaines, Chauvenet’s Les Perrières 2015 captures both the structure of the terroir and the generosity of a standout vintage. Les Perrières sits on stony, limestone-rich soils that give the wine its hallmark mineral tension and longevity, balanced here by the warmth and ripeness of 2015.

The bouquet is complex and evolving, offering aromas of ripe red cherry, blackberry, and raspberry layered with dried rose, forest floor, and subtle spice. Hints of leather, tea leaf, and crushed stone emerge with air. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with firm yet well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a focused, mineral-driven core. Flavors of dark red fruit, savory earth, and gentle oak lead into a long, poised finish.

Now entering an excellent drinking window, the 2015 Les Perrières offers both immediate pleasure and the structure to continue aging gracefully.
