2021 Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

The two parcels – one hectare by the château and 0.5 hectares by the road – have produced a happy yield of 35hl/ha. The bouquet is very lovely, precise and vivid. The wine has a limpidity that is quite rare in a Clos de Vougeot, although the vineyard’s density is reasserted on the finish. This is approachable but with the heft of a Grand Cru.

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.
