Score 89/100 · Drink 2024-2032, Neal Martin, Aug 2023

The 2021 Mâcon La Roche Vineuse Les Cras has a more bashful nose at the moment, with yellow fruit and subtle tertiary scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly terse entry, fresh acidity, very saline and malic towards the finish. I feel that the Vieilles Vignes has a little more complexity.

Cask sample. Much more nerve than the Vieilles Vignes bottling. Easy to like – very welcoming, in contrast to the more tense wines of La Soufrandière. (JR)
