Domaine de la Vougeraie 1er Le Clos Blanc De Vougeot 2022
Details
98-99 Points | CWA (Barrel Notes)
“The 2022 vintage of the highly anticipated new Vougeraie Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot offers a classic balance of ethereal fruit flavors plus elegance to savor now through the coming decade. An inviting bouquet of star jasmine, toasted croissant, and Honeycrisp apple waft out of the glass and put a smile on your face. Those flavors continue on the palate balanced with hints of butterscotch, ginger and lemon crème Brulé,. We recommend a 30-minute decant for immediate enjoyment, or you can age this prized bottling through 2034. This golden nectar merits 98 points today and should prove worthy of 99 points after a year or two of bottle age. Enjoy the journey!” California Wine Advisors (2/2025)
95 Points | D
“The 2022 Le Clos Blanc has a seductive waxy density and a lush aroma of ripe apricots, herbs, and hawthorn flowers. The texture is warm and rich, but not heavy. The grapes are from the domaine monopole for whites in Vougeot that is just over three hectares; most of it is planted to Chardonnay, but there are bits of Binot Beurot and Pinot Blanc. The biodynamically-grown grapes are pressed as whole clusters, fermented in tank, and finished in cask (one-quarter new).” - Decanter
