Ruby red and translucent in the glass, this back-vintage Grand Cru seduces with a mineral-laden bouquet of freshly-tilled earth leading to tones of pomegranate, red cherry and dry cinnamon along with a pronounced florality. On the palate the wine is lively and yields the expected fruit and mineral flavors along with a touch of spice. The tannins are gentle and have fully integrated. Together with a solid bolt of acidity, they lead you through a long and elegant red berry finish. On the lighter side of medium bodied, this refreshing Vougeot is drinking beautifully right now and begs to be poured over dinner. This would accompany any form of poultry, veal or pork that comes with a cream or butter sauce as well as any meaty fish. You could hold onto this for another 7-10 years if you want, but it is well into its drinking window so enjoy now!
