2004 Vougeraie Nuits St.Georges Les Damodes

By on March 31, 2007 #asides

A deep red nose with more than a touch of spice to the sweet fruit. Given time the nose adds coffee and a faint cedar edge. Plenty of concentration on the palate and it’s matched by quite some volume of fine-grained tannin – little astringency. Super length. This is a demmanding wine, but a very good one.

The nose interesting with a forward impression and quite floral and elegant though edged in a cedar frame. Good concentration and very fresh. This is a nice and easy wine with a good finish.

2005 Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot

There’s an extra width on the nose and a subdued lower register of dense fruit. Again, lovely texture to the tannins but this time they are more concentrated. Plenty of oak texture and flavour on the finish, but this will fade. Classic Clos de Vougeot, just a little austere but bags of potential.

2003 Vougeraie Vougeot Clos de la Prieuré Rouge

The nose is deeper, a little reduced, sweet but not too sweet. Quite some density on the palate, low acidity and no sharp edges. An easy wine to drink.

2005 Vougeraie Charmes-Chambertin

A super nose; wide, deep creamy and red. A super palate to match the nose, it’s concentrated and has good acidity – it’s like a meal in itself – delicious. The finish is a good one with some faintly bitter oakiness. Excellent.

2002 Vougeraie Vougeot Clos de la Prieuré Rouge

After the 2003 this is aromatically more elegant with pure pinot fruit. Nice and fresh in the mouth with some density, good acidity and a nice minerality. This is also subtley long finishing. A very nice wine indeed.

2001 Vougeraie Vougeot Clos de la Prieuré Rouge

Softer nose, just a hint animale and nicely round. This is a super 2001 with perfect texture and plenty of concentration. Long. Very impressive and complex too. I liked it a lot.

2000 Vougeraie Vougeot Clos de la Prieuré Rouge

By on March 31, 2007 #asides

Candied red fruits on the nose and despite a hint of reduction this is nicely fresh for 2000. The palate is a little more angular and less elegantly textured than the 2001 that preceded it. Plenty of complexity and reasonable length, but his is much less a ‘complete’ wine than in 01.

2003 Vougeraie Vougeot Clos Blanc de Vougeot

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

Rich and ripe with apparently good acidity – but just a little harshness – this was quite a late bottling despite a quick malo. For my palate, disappointing, even for an 03.
