The 2023 Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru is a magnificent Grand Cru Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in the renowned Clos du Roi climat on the Corton hill. Produced using biodynamic viticulture, it showcases exceptional concentration, finesse and terroir expression, reflecting one of the Côte de Beaune's most prestigious vineyard sites. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and redcurrant, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, sweet spice and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully structured texture, delivering flavours of black cherry, blackberry and plum layered with hints of cedar, graphite, truffle and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining impressive power with remarkable elegance and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and lovers of world-class Pinot Noir seeking structure, elegance and outstanding ageing potential. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington, truffle-infused dishes or mature Comté and Époisses cheese.
