Winemaker’s comments / Gastronomy
Côte de Nuits-Villages « Le Vaucrain » is silky and shows a nice colour. The tanins are elegant. When it is young it has aromas of little red berries and liquorice.
It matches very well red meat, grilled or roasted as well as cheese.
In some tannic vintages it can even allow game.
Preservation
This wine can easily be kept 5 to 7 years if the conditions of temperature and
humidity are respected.
