Origin
Domaine des Crais is a 9.5ha estate owned by Jean-Luc and Martine Tissier, with 40-year old vines grown on characteristically stony, limestone and clay soils. Located in the village of Leynes, it straddles the border between Mâconnais and Beaujolais.
Taste
This tank-fermented Burgundy is clean, crisp and shows good concentration of citrus and apple fruit. 9 weeks' lees ageing has added a lovely depth, refinement, and mineral touches on the long finish.
Enjoy
Partner with simple roasted chicken or turkey, or with moules marinières.

    Disappointing

    Having previously sampled a fabulous 2009 Saint-Veran from the Deux Roches domaine that only cost a couple of quid more than this, I had high expectations of the Les Crais. Sadly, it failed to live up to any of them: thin and mean both on the nose and in the mouth, it lacks any real structure or character. I'd have been disappointed if this had been a six quid bottle, let alone one at twice the price. Majestic has any number of far better white Burgundies at this price point - so give this one a miss.
