2020 Vougeot, Les Cras, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

This is just under the Clos Blanc. The limestone-rich soil gives a Vosne-like nose of pretty red berries and rose petals. As with the Clos de Prieuré, there’s no whole-bunch this year. The result is a bouquet of Parma violet and a supporting, but not dominant, salinity. The palate still swells with a pleasing volume of fruit. Drink 2024-2030.

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.
