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.

Some quite fragrant oak-spice and woody aromas here with an array of melon and grapefruit. The palate delivers a very strong array of ripe peaches and melon with some more exotic, young mango character.
