Domaine de la Vougeraie is one of the newer producers in Burgundy, with the first vintage being 1999. It was created through the amalgamation of several vineyards acquired by the Boisset family in Côte d`Or. The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru opens up in the glass with aromas of plums, warm spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is velvety and enveloping, with a broad attack and an ample core of fruit.

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is more restrained on the nose than its peers. I appreciate the delineation and purity of fruit here. The oak is neatly interwoven. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety entry. The new oak is a little more conspicuous but there is sufficient fruit to soak that up, seductive and quite lavish towards the finish with black cherries, boysenberry and fig jam. Fine length. Just give it another 24 months in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.Neal Martin22nd November 2022
