Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares 2008
€181.00Decanter Wine of the Year 2010 made by Pierre Vincent, 2010 Winemaker of the Year. The intense and reserved nose of subtle wood spice combines with red pinot and black currant notes plus almost pungent warm earth nuances that continue onto the big, robust and sleekly muscled full-bodied flavours that are linear and more obviously structured on the cool, fine and pure finish. La Vougeraie's Bonnes-Mares is a really lovely combination of power with a certain amount of finesse but don't let the elegance fool you as ample patience will be required.

Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2009
€191.00An intensely floral & spicy nose that is wonderfully elegant and admirably pure speaks of wet stone, red currant, plus warm earth and sauvage hints that transfer to the muscular but precise and mineral-infected big bodied flavors that possess copious amounts of dry extract that buffers the very firm tannins and allowing for perfect balance on the mouth coating and linear finish. A classic Bonnes Mares that will require 15 to 20 years to arrive at its majority (92-95)2024+ Allen Meadows - Burghound Learn More -
Comte de Vogue Chambolle-Musigny 1978
€196.00This domaine was established in 1450 by Jean Moisson. In 1766, a descendant of Moisson married a Vogue and it has been in the same family every since. Georges died in 1986 and the current winemaker, Francois Millet, arrived the same year. Jean-Luc Pepin is the estate manager and Eric Bourgogne is in charge of the vineyards. After a lapse in the 70s and 80s, the estate has been consistently producing gorgeous wines. The domaine owns about 80% (16 acres) of the great Musigny vineyard. The average age of the vines is 40 years and the old vine sections are labeled Vieilles Vignes. The harvest from younger vines goes into the Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru. Learn More -
