94 JG. "The 2008 Vaucrains was showing as well as any wine in the cellar on this trip. The bouquet is simply beautiful, as it offers up scents of red berries, cherries, blood orange, great, stony soil tones, a touch of vinesmoke and the faintest whisper of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and strikingly pure and transparent, with a rock solid core of red fruit, great nervosité, impeccable focus and a very long, ripely tannic and tangy finish. A superb Vaucrains." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2009, Issue #24 |
