Vougeot is most known for its Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot with over 80 producers, but there are some basic Vougeot as well. One of the best is Clos de Prieure where Domaine de la Vougeraie has all the rights.
2007 is quite a stylish year in Burgundy, not too hot, but with lots of ripe fruit due to an early warm spring.
The wine is medium dark red, lovely smell of cherries, raspberry and vanilla oak. Slightly minerally also. The wine has a lovely silky firm taste that is quite long and balances perfectly all the way through. Lovely stuff with a price that is not to scary! This is "poor" man's Clos de Vougeot !
Vougeot 2006 "Clos du Prieure" Domaine de la Vougeraie, 40 -50€, solide stuff!
