How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inSince its inception in 1999, Domaine de la Vougeraie has acquired one of the most impressive vineyard holdings in Burgundy, a range of Premier and Grand Crus across 39 appellations that would be the envy of many a winemaker. They began harvest on 9th September with young vines in Volnay and three days later Nuits Saint-Georges and Chardonnay began. There were 13 days of picking on the 48 hectares of vines. They used 110 pickers [a number was increased when they realised they needed to speed up the harvest], including the 14 people on the estate. Yields were lower on Pinot Noir and higher on Chardonnay, less so in the Côte de Beaune than in the Côte de Nuits. There was variation between plots, although the Chambolle vineyards were all picked on the same day. The cuvaison lasted for around 20 days, including cold maceration with one pigeage and remontage daily without air, until fermentation began. They now use larger barrels for the Bourgogne Rouge and some appellations with no more than 25% new oak for the Premier Crus and a maximum of 30% for the Grand Crus. The generic reds are bottled, the Village Crus in December and the rest in February and March. The whites are bottled in April.” This was a good set of wines from Domaine de la Vougeraie, which is the least you would expect given the vineyards in question.
The 2019 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, the domaine’s 0.83 hectare monopole. This was picked three times (13, 14 and 19 September). Whole bunch pressing for 2 and a half hours with 12 hours of settling. Fermentation starts in stainless steel vats and ends in oak barrels. 16 months maturation in oak barrels (25% new) and 2 months in stainless steel. Stirring of the lees twice a month on specific dates. The wine was bottled on 26 April 2021 and production is limited to 14,883 bottles. The round palate shows lime, canned apricot and lots of passion fruit and pineapple notes towards the finish. This is a delicious and seductive white Vougeot and one of the few.

From: La Lumière Noire: 2019 Burgundy - Côte de Nuits (Dec 2020)
The 2019 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, the 0.83-hectare monopole of the domaine, was picked three times. It was showing a bit of reduction on the nose when I visited. The rounded palate features lime cordial, tinned apricot and plenty of passion fruit and pineapple notes toward the finish. This is a delicious and seductive white Vougeot, although it is missing just a little tension and intellect overall.

Since debuting in 1999, Domaine de la Vougeraie has accreted one of the impressive array of vineyard holdings in Burgundy, a raft of Premier and Grand Crus spanning 39 appellations that would leave many a winemaker envious. As usual, Sylvie Poillot guided me through the 2019s. “The flowering was great,” Poillot told me. “There was no rain, just a problem in Chassagne where we had some frost, like in 2016, also in a small part of Savigny-lès-Beaune. We started the harvest on 9 September with the young vines in Volnay and then Nuits Saint-Georges and Chardonnay began three days after. There were 13 days of picking across the 48 hectares of vines. We used 110 pickers [a number increased when they understood that they would have to expedite the harvest] including the 14 people at the winery. The yields were lower with respect to Pinot Noir and greater for Chardonnay, less in Côte de Beaune than in the Côte de Nuits. There were differences between parcels though the Chambolle vineyards were all picked on the same day. The cuvaison was around 20 days including cold maceration with one pigeage and remontage per day without air, until fermentation began. We now use larger barrels for the Bourgogne Rouge and some appellation with no more than 25% new oak for the Premier Crus and maximum 30% for the Grand Crus. The generic red has been bottled, the Village Crus in December and the rest in February and March. The whites will be bottled in April.” This was a good set of wines from Domaine de la Vougeraie, which is the least one would expect given the vineyards in question. My picks both lie in the same appellations: an excellent Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air 1er Cru and Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyères, the latter utilizing 100% whole bunches to brilliant effect. From time to time, the wines mi

Deze 2019 Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot presenteert zich rond en verleidelijk met frisse limoenzeste, ingeblikte abrikoos en uitgesproken tonen van passievrucht en ananas, subtiel ondersteund door een zachte vanilleachtige houttoets en een zijdezachte texture door langere leesrijping. Dankzij de levendige zuren en het tropische fruit snijdt de wijn mooi door rijke smaken van gevogelte en romige kazen, accentueert hij de delicate zoetheid van witte vis en schaaldieren en werkt hij feestelijk bij schaal- en schelpdieren omdat hij zowel frisse contra als ronde complementen biedt. Kies voor geroosterd of citroenbesprenkelde kip, zeebaars of kabeljauw uit de oven met een lichte roomsaus, gegrilde of gebakken coquilles en bisque-achtige bereidingen, of serveer bij romige Brie en jonge Geitenkaas voor het beste resultaat.
