Description
the name "Cras" comes from the medieval term "crai", describing a stony and limestone soil.
The Romans had already recognized the potential of the hillside overlooking Beaune and planted vines there. Some of the vineyards were separated by small walls and paths which are still extant today.
Tasting
"Beautiful ruby red colour.
The nose displays aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry combined with some notes of vanilla. With age and in some vintages, touches of leather will mingle with truffle and spices.
On the palate, the tannins are refined and create a seductive harmony. The aftertaste reveals delicate touches of wood".
