Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains 2016

Here too the wood treatment is sufficiently strong to largely obliterate the underlying fruit though notes of earth and the sauvage do survive the onslaught of oak. Otherwise the imposingly-scaled flavors possess outstanding power, intensity and muscle before concluding in a strikingly long, palate coating and distinctly rustic finale. While this won't win any awards for refinement, it is textbook Vaucrains.

À propos de Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
