The 2020 Aux Cras perfectly translates its ideal site on the upper third of the Beaune slope oriented southeast, and with deep reddish clay subsoils. The resulting wine is deeply colored, with aromatics featuring tangy red berry fruit supported by hints of dark tea, cedar, woodsmoke and damp earth. The texture is sleek yet expansive with ripe tannins and brisk acidity. Complex yet not heavy, this wine typifies classic Beaune elegance with great length, finely detailed ripe fruit and spice notes, plus the capacity to age to great effect.
