Tasting notes
The 2012 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains is striking. Hard candy, plums, licorice and sweet spices all meld together in the Vaucrains. Even with all of its richness, the 2012 is showing beautifully today, largely because the vintage has softened some of the contours, resulting in an unusually generous, inviting young Vaucrains. At the same time, there is plenty of depth to reward cellaring. Rose petals, sweet red berries and cinnamon all inform the silky, perfumed finish.

Classic Nuits. Very juicy and substantial. Real drive here. Well judged. Savoury. Long and subtle. (JR)
About the producer

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
