Only 24hl/ha yields. Medium-plus cherry colour. Combination of high and low toned fruits on the nose. Big but velvety tannins. Great concentration of black fruits. Lovely acid and very long. Good style

2001 Vougeraie Charmes-Chambertin - Mazoyeres
Medium-plus cherry colour and a beautiful red cherry nose. The 65 year old vines have produced a big, tannic wine with perfect acidity. Superb fruit. I often find ‘Charmes’ less interesting than the other G-C Grand Crus – perhaps because it’s such a large vineyard relative to the others, but this is perhaps the best example I’ve ever tasted. Excellent – and I’m looking for some!
2001 Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot
From 3 separate parcels of vines blended together for the first time this vintage. Medium colour. High toned but very reserved nose; even cold from the cellar some spicyness, and eventually some fruit start to come through with swirling. Very concentrated palate with lovely tannins. An excellent example.

2001 Vougeraie Musigny
Believe it or not, the entire harvest from this vineyard was de-stemmed grape by grape, entirely by hand. This process took 10 people 12 hours to complete resulting in 2 and a quarter barrels. Medium-plus cherry in colour. The nose is deep with an aroma that’s quite persistent. Very silky almost soft palate, despite the evident concentration. Very smooth, well covered acidity. The finish is exceptionally long – as you would expect with an exceptional wine!
