Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 91-93/100
The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains has much more personality and charm than the NSG Les Boudots, with copious red cherry and kirsch scents, hints of blood orange developing with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with supple tart red cherry fruit, a pleasant piquancy here with a focused, quite tensile finish that just needs to develop a little more length. Nonetheless, this is a classy Nuits Saint-Georges.Neil Martin - 30/12/2016

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
