Description

Even though yields are up this year, Vougeraie has decided to continue to only offer this wine from their tiny 0.15-hectare holding in magnums. All wholebunch this year, there is a serious side to the wine (it does lie, after all, just above La Grande Rue), but this is ultimately about precision. Drink 2020-2027

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
