Domaine de la Vougeraie Reviews

Score: 88 | July 2, 2014 | Burghound.com

There is just enough wood to notice on the ever-so-slightly reduced nose so I would suggest giving this 15 to 20 minutes of air if you’re going to try a bottle in its youth. There is an undercurrent of minerality that adds lift to the delicious, round and supple medium weight flavors that possess good punch and detail on the crisp, dry and clean citrus-infused finish that again offers good persistence if only moderate depth. 88/2016+

Score: 86-89 | June 11, 2013 | Burghound
A deft application of wood sets off notes of green apple, lemon zest, floral and spice hints. There is good punch and intensity to the plump and supple middle weight flavors that possess good persistence if only average complexity on the dry, balanced and easy-to-like finish. This should also drink well right away.

Outstanding Top Value. A fresh, cool and ripe nose of red berries that is liberally laced with hints of earth and floral nuances leads to attractively rich, round and delicious flavors that possess an appealing texture on the delicious, serious and detailed finish. This is really very good for what it is and worth considering.

This is also exceptionally fresh, cool and pure with an expressive nose of primarily red berry fruit and discreet notes of kirsch front running the lush and fleshy middle weight flavors that possess good verve and a subtle touch of minerality on the delicious finish. This should be almost immediately accessible yet reward a few years of cellar time too if desired.

Outstanding Top Value. An exceptionally pretty nose blends floral nuances with red currant and ripe cassis aromas. There is a discreet hint of minerality to the detailed, textured and solidly well-concentrated flavors that possess good complexity on the ever-so-slightly rustic finish that displays fine focus and persistence. This is really quite good for what it is and worth your consideration.

An intensely earthy nose blends together very fresh aromas of both red and dark berry fruit with hints of underbrush and forest floor. There is good volume to the generous, round and very fleshy middle weight flavors that possess very good depth and excellent length on the balanced finish. This is lovely.
