2021 Vougeot, Les Cras, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

This is always a strongly aromatic wine, often with highlights of violet and blackcurrant. Those elements are in place in 2021, though dialled down a little, with a salty minerality ascending. The palate has an open weave allowing an immediacy, but the finish is long enough. This is perhaps a little angular, more geometrically precise. Drink 2024-2032.
