Description

Vougeraie’s one-third-of-a-hectare parcel is high in this already elevated vineyard, close to the top of the slope before it falls away to St Aubin. Planted in 2008, the vineyard consistently delivers Puligny power while retaining a high-toned note. It feels totally correct this year, with a hint of lime flower, a succulent note and a generous, mature texture. Drink 2025-2038.
