The 2022 Vougeot Les Cras 1er Cru comes from a parcel next to Château de la Tour, planted next to Chardonnay from Domaine de la Vougeraie. It has a potent marine/estuarine-scented bouquet with mainly red berry fruit and hints of morels and crushed stone. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy red fruit, very smooth in style, although, like in previous years, I discern more complexity on Legros's Chambolle and Morey-Saint-Denis cuvées. Fine. Drinking window: 2025-2038. Score - 90. (Neal Martin, vinous.com, Jan. 11, 2024)
From 45-year-old vines, this wine delivers complex, earthy dark fruit and layers of smoky spice. Drink through 2035 and potentially beyond.
This graceful, harmonious wine showcases hawthorn blossom, marzipan, hazelnut, lemongrass and crunchy green apple with touches of flinty mineral and honey. Drink through 2030 and potentially beyond.
