The 2020 Côte de Nuits-Villages Le Vaucrain (Domaine Louis Jadot) reveals aromas of sweet berries and cherries mingled with hints of orange rind and spices. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and seamless, it's built around powdery tannins and lively acids. Part of this large parcel has been ripped up and will be the site of rootstock trials as Jadot reflects upon their replanting choices for the future.
