Domaine de la Vougeraie 1er Le Clos Blanc De Vougeot 2019
Another supremely satisfying triumph from Burgundy’s celebrated 2019 vintage, this glorious new arrival dazzled us with a galaxy of elegant fresh fruit flavors. The bouquet launched forth with audacious notes of star jasmine and gardenia plus citrus. The velvety rich texture leads to a plethora of mesmerizing flavors including pears, poached apples, lemon Crème Brûlée, and even subtle hints of coconut cream pie on the lengthy finish. This truly remarkable (+ rare) nectar may be enjoyed now (decanting recommended prior to 2024) through the end of this decade.
Domaine de la Vougeraie Winery
"The Domaine de La Vougeraie is a selection of estates acquired over time and blended with the family's own vines. Its history goes back to 1964 with Les Evocelles, the first plot to be acquired by our father at the start of his career in his home village of Gevrey-Chambertin.
"Twenty years later, the vines of Vougeot and our first plot on the Côte de Beaune were added. 1996 brought more land around Beaune, before the loop was closed and we returned to Vougeot with the addition of Le Clos Blanc, the famous monopole with its glinting gold wines. And that is how the Domaine de la Vougeraie came into being; naturally, like a return to the source."
