2015 Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey
£54.00
“Aux Cras is a relatively new addition to the Jadot portfolio which debuted with the 2012 vintage, but it is already on the path to establishing its status as one of the house’s very finest Beaune premier crus. A complex bouquet of dark red and black cherry, warm spice, woodsmoke and rich soil is followed by a palate of impressive depth, intensity and energy with a core of rich, supple tannins.”
This Premier Cru is located at the heart of the Beaune appellation, above the Beaune Theurons. The Aux Cras vineyard is very well located. It is South-East oriented at an altitude of 260 m on a rather steep slope. The soil is not very deep, it is very stony (explaining its name: Cras=formerly a quarry). Destemmed grapes ferment in vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Aging takes place in oak barrels produced by cooperage Cadus for 18 months.
