Nuits St Georges, Les Vaucrains, 1er Cru, 2011
justerini & brooks tasting note
Mineral, rocky, tense, ripe and gripping but fine-grained. Mineral, earthy bramble and raspberry fruit; excellent ripe flavours, energetic and complex, totally complete. Stunning.

91-94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Bright medium red. Subtle aromas of dark raspberry, musky underbrush and meat. Supple and sweet if not quite as delineated as the Les Saint-Georges. But boasts a lovely fine-grained texture to the dark raspberry and spice flavors. More minerally than chocolatey on the very long finish. This and the Les Saint-Georges will be bottled with about 13.5% alcohol.
