Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot La Vougeraie 2016

The wine

The Premier Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot is élevaged in barrels for 18 months (30% new wood). The nose produces intense aromas of flowers and fruit (white and yellow fruit, citrus fruit), as well as notes of star anise and hazelnut. On the palate, an excellent minerality complements the fruity aromas; a wine which is powerful yet at the same time deep, with freshness and good aromatic persistence. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to high-quality fish with firm flesh, such as sole, bass or cod.
