"The 2010 Gouges Vaucrains is simply brilliant. The deep, nascently complex and stunning nose soars from the glass in a blaze of cassis, dark berries, a touch of quail, espresso, magically complex soil tones, smoke and violets. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and suave, with a sappy core of fruit, a stunning signature of soil, substantial, but very fine-grained tannins and superb length and grip on the perfectly focused and tangy finish. This wine perfectly synthesizes the inherent power of Vaucrains with the elegance of the vintage to produce a brilliant young example of 2010."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
