Score 90/100 · Drink 2023-2045, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2021

The 2018 Côte de Nuits-Villages Le Vaucrain (Domaine Louis Jadot) opens in the glass with notes of sweet red berries and cherries mingled with hints of spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tangy, with fine, chalky tannins and a nicely concentrated core of fruit, this is a serious effort that punches above its appellation weight and will repay bottle age.

The 2018 Côte de Nuits Villages Vaucrain has a tightly packed bouquet of dark berry fruit mixed with iodine. The palate is sweet on the entry, fleshy and ripe, with supple tannin and a soft landing on the finish.
