For years, the English press has been reporting that this domaine has returned to the form it exhibited in the fifties and sixties, when it was the reference point for the wines of Nuits St.-Georges. Some progress is noticeable, but these are not profound wines. They are cleanly made in an international style, meaning everything fits within well-defined technical parameters. The Nuits St.-Georges-Les Vaucrains, a potential blockbuster given this vineyard's quality, offers a vague, earthy, truffle-scented, closed nose. It displays a medium ruby color, tightly knit, tart flavors, medium body, and a restrained, understated style. A good wine, it should last for 6-8 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT.
