DESCRIPTION
Suprisingly friendly for this 1er Cru, which I normally find the toughest of seven tasted, but this is probably the most supple Vaucrains I have ever tried. That's not to say the quality is down, but clearly the extraction here has been very careful and it shows. A really generous, charming wine with a hint of red fruit accompanying the traditional darker fruit with Vaucrains. Really top stuff!" Angus McLean, Fine Wine.
There is also more femininity here and that translates to the palate that is silky smooth and beautifully poised.' Neal Martin, December 2014
Sweet Spot Outstanding* Here too there is a subtle application of wood setting off the intensely spicy and overtly sauvage aromas of mostly cassis and black raspberry aromas that are also liberally laced with warm earth nuances. The muscular big-bodied flavors possess real power and punch along with ample minerality before terminating in a hugely long, complex and well-balanced finale. As it always is this is distinctly old school in style and will definitely require extended cellaring.
