Domaine de la Vougeraie
2010 Vougeot 1er Cru “Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot” Monopole
90 Points
Wine & Spirits
From a triangle of vines adjacent to the Château du Clos de Vougeot, this block has been planted to white grapes at least as far back as 1110. Jasper Morris in his article, “Nuits Blanche” (W&S, October 2012), writes that the soil here is different from the rest of Clos de Vougeot, “an unusual salmon pink conglomerate of the Oligocene period.” Today, the monopole is planted mostly to chardonnay (95 percent) with a small amount of pinots gris and blanc. It produces a golden wine, the 2010 ripe with beeswax scents and fruit notes that range from lemon to pineapple. A tight structure holds all the ripeness, keeping the wine cool, focused for long aging.
