2015 Clos Blanc de Vougeot, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Sylvie Poillot, General Manager, farms the estate’s 42 hectares biodynamically. “We do this to preserve the fertility of soils and to have a perfect balance between the soil and the plant’s health,” she explains. It’s not just the soil health that’s changed: two decades from their conversion to biodynamics, the wines are evolving too: “The wines are more aromatic and more expressive year after year,” she says. 

One of the most backward wines in the cellar is pale lemon with some green tints. A fine core of flesh and fruit is evident alongside some other fermentation flavours, with very appley notes behind. The density, integrity, and wealth of flavour are set to be an exceptional wine.
