Tasting notes
Monopole. ‘La vigne blanche’, 3.03 ha (7.49 acres), principally planted to Chardonnay with some Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Mid-pale lemon. Real concentration and power again. Rich and hedonistic, sprinkled with spice and focused by laser-like, scintillating acidity. (MH)

Cask sample. Quite intense and savoury with good depth of fruit and no shortage of either ripeness or acidity. But not a buy at this price! (JR)
The 2021 Vougeot 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot was fairly reduced on the nose when tasted at the domaine and difficult to read. The palate is balanced with commendable weight and touches of tropical fruit with decent length, though surprisingly, given the vintage, it just needs a little more tension on the finish.
