Wine information: Côte de Nuits Villages Le Vaucrain is a 3.5 ha single vineyard that was purchased by Maison Louis Jadot in 1996. Approximately 2.5 hectares are planted with Pinot Noir vines. The remaining part with Chardonnay. It is situated in the village of Comblanchien, and adjacent to the well known Clos de la Marechale, a famous Premier Cru of Nuits Saint Georges. Louis Jadot's Côte de Nuits Villages Le Vaucrain is vinified in tanks for 3 to 4 weeks and is then aged in oak barrels for 10 months before bottling. The average age of the Pinot Noir vines is 10 years old.

Tasting Notes: Louis Jadot Côte de Nuits Villages Le Vaucrain is a deep coloured, aromatic wine with ripe black and red berry flavours and a classic earthy Pinot Noir bouquet. Its excellent balance of ripe tannins and elegant yet concentrated fruit results in a silky, approachable wine which ages very well.

Food & drink match: This wine is perfect with roasted or marinated red and white meats, and traditional cheeses.

Reviews: "Remarkable scent. Loaded with violets and red cherry fruit, a real cockerel of a nose. Great balance, light body, rather simple but lovely drinkability." (RH) 16.5 Points, Jancis Robinson
