Tasting note
Red fruits and undergrowth. Serious but so drinkable.
In the press
94/100 - A wealth of wet-earth notes and an array of red and dark cherries, as well as a gently smoky edge. The palate is beautifully plush and long and delivers a very striking array of juicy, rich and sweet cherries that hold pure and fresh. Silky tannins have the final word. Great Vougeot. Try from 2022.
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes, sorted meticulously. Maceration and fermentation controlled for 2-3 weeks with indigenous yeasts. Joseph Drouhin prioritizes gentle extraction. Daily 'pigeage' and pumping over. Aged 14-18 months in French oak (20% new).
Food Match
White and red meats. Game.
