Nuits-Saint-Georges, Les Vaucrains, 1er Cru, 2015

A Vaucrains of sheer style and class. Complex, cool and intense, a rocky mineral core wrapped in a velvet blanket. Long suave bramble, iron, mineral and dark cherry characterstics. Driven, expansive, powerful and yet controlled. One of the great vineyards of Nuits, the Gouges’ old vine parcels in Vaucrains always produce very small berries, making for a very powerful, intense wine. The vineyard is influenced by its red, stony, clay soils and the cooling effect of the forest.
