Tasting notes
Rich and solid. Grainy texture. Lots to chew on but this rather edgy rendition in comparison with the Champ Gain from the same producer really does show why the Côte de Beaune is the place for whites! (JR)

The 2014 Vougeot 1er Cru le Clos Blanc has a clean and detailed, granite and smoke-scented bouquet that is austere at first, but finds its voice with aeration. The palate is rounded and harmonious on the entry with touches of tinned peach and nectarine, a keen line of acidity and nicely integrated oak just filling out the finish. Give it a year or two once in bottle - it will be a very fine Vougeot.
