2022, Domaine de la Vougeraie, VOUGEOT, 1er Cru, 'Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot'The 2022 Vougeot Blanc de Vougeot Le Clos 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with yellow plum and light jasmine scents unfolding in the glass, certainly with more vigor than the previous vintage. The palate is well balanced with a rich opening. Very pithy and almost Rhne like in style, growing peppery towards the finish. I'm not sure about the longevity, but it could be pleasurable in its youth. 89 91 Neal Martin, Vinous. Drinking Window: 2024 2032

elegant and classy

A large portion of the vines are planted are on the peak of the St

fleshy and perfumed wine that's supple and refined

and that combined with the high Cabernet content of Figeac means lower alcohols than the past few years

super-bright and vibrant from the first sip

a firm mineral backbone to cut through the significant flesh

A peppermint trace comes through with aeration

including Violettes and Mazières Blanches in Flagey and Communes

offering up aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with notions of liquorice

The 2022 Bourgneuf is a dark

particularly if given a few hours in a carafe

The 2020 Aile d'Argent is terrific
