Domaine de la Vougeraie Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot Monopole 1er Cru 2022

With a recent history, it has gained enormous importance in the world of collectible wines, achieving stratospheric ratings in guides and being considered a promising wine of Burgundy. Respect for the terroir is demonstrated by biodynamics, which has been practiced for over 20 years, since the era of Pascal Marchand, succeeded by Pierre Vincent (now Domaine Leflaive) who produced more ethereal wines, with delicacy and purity of fruit, as maintained by Sylvie Poillot. The Domaine's arsenal of vineyards is impressive. A highlight is the Clos Blanc de Vougeot, considered by Jasper Morris MW to be the best white wine of the Côte de Nuits.

Clos Blanc, a mythical and mystical vineyard, is adjacent to Château du Clos de Vougeot.

Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels (Allier  and Cîteaux), with only 23% new and 2 months in tank. Little Bâtonnage and only one racking. Bottled on a fruit day. Only 3043 bottles made.

Score: 94-96 Jasper Morris
"“Incontournable” says Sylvie, which translates as something like 'peerless' in English. A fresh mid lemon yellow. The bouquet immediately speaks of itself and in a great style, this seems particularly successful this year. Everything is in place. The fruit is a broadly based white ripe apple, the oak supports it impeccably without intruding, the acidity is extremely well integrated and brings the fruit out dancing at the finish and the length impeccable. Drink from 2028-2037."
