Great price on this great Burgundy!
2005 Domaine de la Vougeraie Vougeot 1er Cru
"Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot" Monopole...$49.99
(compare to JJ Buckley at $79.99)
"The Clos Blanc, a mythical, mystical vineyard, is adjacent to the Château du Clos de Vougeot. This golden triangle, surrounded on all sides by great reds, first offered its pure, golden sacrament to its spiritual fathers, the first monks of Cîteaux, in 1110. Known as “The White Vineyard”, it is like a diamond set in the centre of rubies."
Winemaker notes:
The Vougeot appellation covers 168 acres, 126 of which are taken up by the Clos de Vougeot. The Clos Blanc de Vougeot is just in front of the Chateau, below the western half of the Clos de Vougeot's north wall.
Soil: Very calcareous; silyt clay subsoil.
Barrel-aged 16 months.
Visual Aspect: Deep gold; beautiful brilliance and attractive green reflections.
Nose: First nose is stunning. Powerful, complex, managing to be both fruity and mineral.
Palate: Possesses richness of taste, with dry fruits, hazelnut and cashew nuts. The opulence of the mouth shows great acidity, with a distinguished and refreshing finish.
