The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras comes from slightly sandier soils that Bruno Claveliers' other soils, the vines here between 75- and 85-years-old, the millerandage reducing yields to around 20 hectoliters per hectare in 2015. It has a more concentrated and more powerful bouquet compared to either the Vosne-Romanée or Chambolle-Musigny premier crus, more floral with violet aromas developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit that is counterbalanced with a keen line of acidity that maintains freshness from start to finish. This is vivacious and harmonious, demonstrating one of the appellation's more underrated premier crus in a very positive light. It will require 4-5 years in bottle for the tannins to soften, but it will be worth the wait.
