Domaine de la Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2002
Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceNot every plot of the Clos Vougeot is making the perfect pinot but Boisset's Domaine de la Vougeraie has to be happy with its single hectare parcel situated directly beneath Les Petits Musigny. It's pure silt soil littered with pebbles produces a warmly-coloured ruby red that goes through a 20 day pre-fermentation, cold maceration and eventually is aged for 16 months in 60 per cent new oak barrels. Just a whiff of vanilla fades into a fresh fruit medley of raspberries and black cherries. Rich round spicy long and all in a very youthful package. Long, stylish classic pinot that reminds one of the good old days of Red Burgundy. This will enjoy a long life in bottle.Tasted: 06 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $179.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
