Description
The Beaune Aux Cras vineyard is positioned on the top of the hillside behind the town of Beaune on the site of an old quarry. Evidence of its history can be seen in its incredibly rocky soils and the name Cras which is derived from C(a)racos meaning rocky hill. The vineyard is made up of three terraces each contained by limestone walls; the sun's reflection on these walls and the additional luminosity it provides promotes the early development of the vine and its grapes.

Tasting Note
Our Beaune 1er Cru "Aux Cras" has a pale golden colour that darkens a little with age. On the nose it is a mix of almonds, dried fruits and white flowers. In the older vintages of this wine it is not rare to find aromas of undergrowth as well as buttery, honey or spicy hints such as cinnamon. This wine is smooth and also has good acidity. It is overall a harmonious wine.
Food Pairing
