2009 Cotes de Nuits Villages Vaucrains

The 2009 Cote de Nuits Villages Le Vaucrains is made from vines in Comblanchien, just past Clos de la Marechale. It is a big, powerful wine with a slightly rustic personality. I am curious to see how this shows once it is racked and bottled. Today it comes across as heavily reduced. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. May 2011, www.robertparker.com
