There are 13,053 bottles of Domaine de la Vougeraie's superb 2017 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, representing a modest yield for this emblematic monopole. Opening in the glass with a pretty bouquet of fresh green pear, peach, mandarin oil and petrol, framed by a discreet touch of nutty new oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, with a delicate and elegantly tight-knit core of fruit and a long, precise finish. As readers may know, small percentages of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc complement Chardonnay in this cuvée.William Kelley13th February 2020

The 2017 Vougeot Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot 1er Cru, a monopole of the domaine, certainly has a better bouquet than other Vougeraie whites this year, offering more precise, mineral-driven yellow stone fruit mixed with yellow flowers. The palate is well balanced with quite a rich and generous opening, counterbalanced by a fine thread of acidity and an almost effervescent, orange sorbet finish. Very fine.
