Domaine Vougeraie, Vosne Romanee Aux Champs Perdrix

Domaine Vougeraie, Vosne Romanee Aux Champs Perdrix(2015 is the first vintage for this wine). An exuberantly spicy and floralsuffused nose exhibits notes of black cherry, pomegranate, violet, sandalwood and Asian style tea. There are sleek but velvety middle weight flavors that possess both a lovely sense of vibrancy and minerality, all wrapped in a beautifully wellbalanced finish. This is excellent and quite firm yet I suspect that it will be approachable after only a few years of bottle age.

I also tasted the 2013 VS

By contrast there is a highly seductive mouth feel to the pure and transparent middle weight flavors that exhibit much more minerality

20% new wood)

He told me that they started to buy vineyards in 1997 without a clear idea of what style of Toro wine they would make

There is excellent volume to the sleek

The highly seductive medium-bodied flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract that confers a velvety texture to the palate soaking

Drink it from 2014-2026+

I would be inclined to drink the ’04 Corton over the first 10 years of its life (even though it will survive much longer) as I’m not sure that the fruit will ultimately outlast the structure

Give it an hour or 2 in the decanter

Like the Chambertin

For the first nine harvests in production

Very juicy and flirtatious
