2022 Vougeot Blanc, Clos du Prieuré, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

The 2022 Vougeot Blanc Le Clos de Prieuré has a refined bouquet with much more delineation and tension than the last vintage. It offers touches of yellow fruit and light beeswax aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with lemon thyme, orange pith, and light wild peachy notes. It needs more tension and precision on the finish; otherwise, it would have merited a higher score.
