Understanding Domaine de la Vougeraie, Vougeot Premier Cru, Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, Burgundy
Adhering to biodynamic principles, Domaine de la Vougeraie nurtures the vine and soil with the utmost respect for nature, allowing for a wine that truly speaks of its terroir. This careful stewardship is evident in the cellar, where a combination of traditional and innovative techniques are employed to preserve the wine's integrity and highlight its distinct qualities. Ageing takes place mostly in a combination of quarter-new oak and stainless steel tanks. This step adds complexity while letting the fruit purity shine. Vougeot Clos Blanc features citrus blossom, ripe orchard fruit and a subtle hint of oak in an intense, elegant palate with graceful acidity and a textured minerality. This Premier Cru has outstanding ageing potential.
