2022 Domaine Evenstad Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Vaucrains 1.5L

The term “vaucrains” highlights the soil’s historical infertility, adding to the wine’s distinctive character and structure. Les Vaucrains, perched on a steep slope above Les Saint-Georges, is celebrated for its exceptional quality. The vineyard’s rocky, calcareous soil, enriched with a small amount of clay, results in concentrated fruit with rich, complex flavors. Its free-draining nature and varied aspects—ranging from east-facing to cooler microclimates—allow for a wide range of expressions in the wine and stands out as one of the most esteemed Premier Cru vineyards in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation.
