Domaine de la Vougeraie
Les Cras Vougeot 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Spiced cherry and red plum skin with a lifted floral and apple blossom elegance. Showing some riper, rounder texture consistent with the vintage, but locked into a strong vein of dark, organic, earthiness.

Aug 16th, 2015Dark berry funk on the nose, slightly oxidized. On the palette it's showing roasted, somewhat savory dark red fruit, lots of underlying earthy character, great lacy acid and well integrated, smooth tannins.

Mar 9th, 2018Sadly this was too young, but quite promising nonetheless. Berries of course, nice balance and good acidity.

Dec 13th, 2015I love this wine, and though air seems to show it best, I've traded 4 bottles with friends who gave up on it. Dusty nose of dried cherrywood, it's smooth, rich and stemmy with lingering strawberry, cherry and olive bread essence on a 25 second finish. Has 5+ years to go but why wait if you can give it 30 min decant?

May 29th, 2015Perfectly aged burgundy. One of life's great pleasures. Had all the elements in place. Happy to have had patience to allow it to age.
