The vines of climat les Vaucrains are located in a deep valley where the sun’s rays converge. The climat’s name derives from the old Burgundian dialect reflecting its sloping relief, ‘vau’, forming a large crack in the hillside, ‘crain’. The rich, gravelly red clayey soil provides the vines with all the nutrients and energy they need to thrive. Once carefully harvested, the meticulously sorted fruit is vinified according to traditional methods with as little intervention as possible.
The purple colour, accented by hints of mauve, reveals an intense, bewitching bouquet, with scents of blackcurrant and blackberry mingling with subtle touches of liquorice and truffle. The powerful and generous mouthfeel affirms the aromas of the nose while building to an incredibly persistent finish. This cuvée is ideal for cellaring for several years to develop its full potential.
