2010 Vougeot Rouge, Clos du Prieuré, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Based in Premeaux just south of Nuits-St Georges, Domaine de la Vougeraie was created in 1999 by Jean-Claude Boisset. The vines are farmed biodynamically and the wines are stylishly made by Pierre Vincent. The Clos du Prieuré is a Monopole of the domaine, the oldest vines dating back to 1901 though most are 30 to 50 years old. A fine rich red colour with lighter rim, supported by dark red-berry Pinot fruit with some elegance, matched by the beginnings of forest floor fruits. This is beautifully made, with ripe fruit, supple texture and attractive persistence. Drink now to 2018.
