2019 Clos Blanc de Vougeot, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie
Product: 2019-0750-00-8005263
Description
This enigmatic wine is unique in Burgundy, courtesy largely of the vineyard’s very chalky soil. It abuts the northern wall of Clos Vougeot, yet it’s definitively a white wine terroir. It’s always taut and tensile in youth, with marked acidity. The warm summer added a smoky nose and hints of cumin spice. It’ll need time to knit together. Drink 2024-2035.
