2010 Vougeot, Les Cras, 1er Cru Domaine de la Vougeraie

Vougeot, Les Cras, 1er Cru Domaine de la Vougeraie
This vineyard suffered from the cold snap in December 2009 with numerous vines being killed – it has all been since grubbed up for replanting. The 2010 crop is therefore only a tiny quantity, but it is immensely concentrated with silky suave dense dark fruit.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

Two recent trends which have been continued here by winemaker Pierre Vincent are a slight reduction in the amount of new oak, which now mostly comes from the local forest of Cîteaux, and a slight increase in the use of stems during vinification. The latter is subtly judged though, as there is very rarely any outright feel of the stems in the bouquet or on the palate. 2010 is a tiny crop here, averaging out at 24 hl/ha across the cellar but the wines are magically concentrated.

Vougeot, Les Cras, 1er Cru Domaine de la Vougeraie
A fresh but brooding nose combines plenty of stone and soil tones with ripe wild red berries and plenty of floral nuances. There is excellent volume to the energetic, intense and overtly muscular medium weight plus flavors that benefit from the presence of plenty of dry extract that buffers the very firm and phenolically mature tannins on the balanced and impressively complex finish. This robust effort is not without a certain refinement and overall, I very much like the depth of character.
