Tasting notes
Healthy dark red. Blackberry, violet, rose petal and licorice on the nose; more Clos Vougeot than Chambolle-Musigny in character (this climat lies between Clos Vougeot and Chambolle Amoureuses). Concentrated and dense but with a light touch. Quite youthfully bound up today, showing a faint saline quality. A black-fruit style of this wine, with serious tannins. Classy juice.

The 2014 Vougeot 1er Cru les Petit Vougeot (which unlike the Clos Vougeot is "domaine") offers kirsch, orange zest and apricot blossom on the nose, generous from the start and no coaxing necessary. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, rounded in the mouth, no smooth edges with pure strawberry and raspberry coulis infused with white pepper and sage. This is a lovely Vougeot from Jean-Marie Fourrier.
Other owners: Bertagna, Roux, Hudelot-Noëllat and Clerget. Very close to Amoureuses. ‘For me this is a great Chambolle’, says JM Fourrier, ‘a secret bargain’. Deep crimson. Sweet, charming fruit. Extreme charm and freshness. Very winning. Such charm and fruit! Good freshness underneath shows it really is worth keeping this! (JR)
