Louis Jadot Cote de Nuits-Villages Le Vaucrain, Burgundy, France 2022

Côte de Nuits-Villages "Le Vaucrain" 2022 is a superb village-level Pinot Noir sourced from Le Vaucrain, one of the finest lieux-dits in the Côte de Nuits-Villages appellation. Produced by Maison Louis Jadot, this bottling consistently overdelivers, offering a glimpse into the depth and elegance normally associated with neighboring villages such as Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The outstanding 2022 vintage reveals layers of black cherry, wild raspberry, violet, forest floor, baking spice, and subtle mineral notes, framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Combining the power and structure of the Côte de Nuits with remarkable finesse, Le Vaucrain is one of Burgundy's hidden gems and an exceptional value for collectors seeking classic, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir.
