Vougeot 1er Cru “Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot” Monopole Reviews

This is slightly more aromatically complex with its attractively fresh nose of nut oil, lemon, straw and pear. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that display good cut on the very clean, refreshing and saline finish. This is really quite pretty and should drink well soon after its release. 89/2016+
 

More challenging that the Clos de Prieure, Le Clos Blanc offers so much heady complexity and gripping power that it feels gruff, needing a day for its tannic leesiness to mellow into savory scents. It tastes like a spcie box explosion, a grand wine that will be more approachable with ten years of bottle age. White grapes have grown at this 5.63-acre vineyard since 1100, currently 95 percent chardonnay, four percent pinot gris, and one percent pinot blanc, farmed under biodynamics since 2001. The vines are adjacent to the Chateau du Vougeot, neighboring Musigny and Les Amoureuses across the northern wall in Chambolle.
