"As great as the last two premier crus chez Gouges were showing, the 2009 Vaucrains was even a step up. The absolutely superb nose jumps from the glass in a blaze of cherries, pomegranate, nutskins, a gloriously complex base of soil, vinesmoke and coffee. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, very pure and also quite properly reserved, with a great sappy core of fruit, a very refined, but substantial structure and brilliant length and grip on the supremely elegant (for young Vaucrains) finish. A brilliant wine."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
