Note di degustazione
Quite a price! (Did Berrys buy a bit too much of this wine?) Savoury, serious nose with real depth and nuance – more concentration than most premiers crus. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this wine, made with great attention to detail, but surely I could find a cheaper alternative? From Oregon or New Zealand perhaps? Long and already drinking well. (JR)

The 2018 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot has turned out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, peach, orange oil and a generous but not overpowering application of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, its textural attack segues into a tangy, vibrant mid-palate, concluding with a saline finish. As readers will remember, small percentages of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc complement Chardonnay in this cuvée.
Rich start and then masses of almost painful acidity. Just a little sturdy for the price. Is the acid overdone? Chalky finish. (JR)
The 2018 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, due for bottling at the end of April with just one or two bâtonnages , has a delightful bouquet with notes of citrus fruit, praline and a touch of white chocolate. The elegant palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity and moderate weight, that soupçon of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc lending a little more complexity on the finish than if it was pure Chardonnay. Very fine.
