The vineyard’s name derives from \u003cem data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"270\"\u003ecraie\u003c\/em\u003e — “lime” — a nod to the chalky-limestone soils that give the wine its tension and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"364\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage was handled with the domaine’s hallmark precision: hand-harvested, 30% whole bunches, indigenous yeasts, and gentle pigeage over an 18–20 day maceration. Élevage took place in Burgundian barrels, 15–20% new, allowing the wine to build depth without masking its terroir signature. Les Cras consistently delivers a Pommard of firm structure and lifted aromatics — in this vintage, ripe blueberry and plum fruit are wrapped around fine yet powerful tannins, finishing with a long, saline minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003eWith its combination of concentration, freshness, and structure, this is a Pommard that will reward patience, opening from 2028 to reveal further layers of complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003e NOSE\u003cbr data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003e – Red fruit and earth\u003cbr data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e Aromas of cherry, blueberry, and plum with hints of spice and subtle savoury undertones.\u003cbr data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1194\"\u003e PALATE\u003cbr data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1203\"\u003e – Concentrated and firm\u003cbr data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003e Dense, sweet-berried fruit supported by fine but assertive tannins.\u003cbr data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e FINISH\u003cbr data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1308\"\u003e – Long and mineral\u003cbr data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003e Lingering stone and chalk notes carry the fruit to a persistent close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1805\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003e“Vinified in tronconic and then aged in barrels. Medium deep crimson. An attractive red fruit bouquet. Suggests a bit of the firmness of Pommard on the nose, but there is easily enough red fruit to cover the bones. Still a final tannin or two but there is fine density to this and a good long finish. Drink from 2028–2033.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Jasper Morris M.W., 89–92 points, January 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"2004\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003e Style - Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1847\"\u003e Varietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"1871\"\u003e Country - France\u003cbr data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1890\"\u003e Region - Burgundy\u003cbr data-start=\"1907\" data-end=\"1910\"\u003e Vintage - 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003e Bottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1949\"\u003e ABV - 13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"1963\"\u003e Closure - Cork\u003cbr data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"1980\"\u003e Other - Vegan Friendly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Lucien Muzard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41969432068183,"sku":"DOMLUCMUZPOMLC23","price":189.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/0447c4e4-305f-48b7-8a4b-21c198230d79.jpg?v=1757848011","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-lucien-muzard-pommard-les-cras-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
