Maison Louis Jadot
The different geological strata, alongside the many variations of the Jurassic limestone-clay soil, give the wines from Burgundy their richness, diversity and distinctiveness, and the harmony between the soil and the vine is a key relationship. The dominance of single varieties is a Burgundian tradition, and at Maison Louis Jadot the philosophy is to respect the origin of the grapes. Therefore the villages and growths of Burgundy are individually expressed in each of the wines that carry the Maison Louis Jadot label.

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.
Cellaring
This wine can easily be kept 5 to 7 years if the conditions of temperature and humidity are respected.
