Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel Air 2019

"Reduction presently overshadows the underlying fruit though it does seem ripe. There is very good volume to the plush, round and delicious medium weight flavours that exude a refreshing minerality on the intense, firm and precise finale that also possesses very fine depth and persistence. This is a very good effort that should repay a decade plus of cellaring. 91-93 Points" - Allen Meadow, burghound.com

Apparently the berries were very aromatic when they entered the vat for the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air 1er Cru, which includes 40% whole bunches. It has a lovely bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry and wild hedgerow scents, touches of iris flower emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and velvety-smooth in texture. There is more density here on the finish, which shows touches of spice and marmalade and fans out nicely. This should evolve well in bottle." - Vinous
