    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Quite conceivably the best Vaucrains Chevillon have made. Aromatic on the nose but very tightly woven on the palate; intense and explosive flavours of black cherry, cherry stone, sweet brambles and fruit blossom, vivid like never before, pure and beautiful with typical Vaucrains stuffing and a deep, complex earthiness, set in robust velvety tannins. Stunning.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Vaucrains is fascinating to taste after Les St. Georges. In 2010 the Vaucrains is more finessed and elegant than the St. Georges, but in 2009 those rules are reversed, as it is the Vaucrains that comes across as far more imposing, inward and structured. Today the Vaucrauins is implosive and seems to be holding back much of its potential. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the fruit through to the tense, wiry finish. The Vaucrains needs to be buried in a deep, cold cellar for several years, perhaps considerably longer, although I am optimist by nature.
