The 2023 Domaine de la Vougeraie Vougeot Les Cras is a refined and expressive Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in the esteemed Les Cras lieu-dit in Vougeot. Produced using Domaine de la Vougeraie's biodynamic philosophy, it beautifully reflects the purity, elegance and terroir-driven character of the Côte de Nuits. The nose is fragrant and complex, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, sweet spice and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully poised texture, delivering flavours of red and black cherry layered with hints of cranberry, cedar, earthy spice and mineral complexity. The finish is long, elegant and beautifully balanced, showcasing the finesse and precision that define this exceptional vineyard site.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Burgundy for lovers of fine Pinot Noir seeking elegance, purity and authentic Côte de Nuits character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with roast duck, veal, mushroom risotto, truffle-infused dishes or mature Comté cheese.
