This Meursault Premier Cru Les Cras is sourced from two growers with contiguous parcels at the very top of the steep ‘Les Cras’ vineyard, facing southeast, at 780 feet in altitude, near the border with Volnay. Soils are stony, almost pure limestone; ‘cras’ in French means a stony terrain. Vinification: Pressed full cluster; fermented on indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels (40-60% new), aged in same barrels. Aromas of lemons, white fruit, apricots, light nutty notes.
