Vougeot 1er Cru Les Cras Domaine Vougeraie, 2022

Vougeot 1er Cru Les Cras 2022 from Domaine Vougeraie is a poised Burgundy Pinot Noir that captures the refinement and structure of this historic Côte de Nuits appellation. With the elegance you expect from Vougeot and the precision of Domaine Vougeraie, it offers a polished expression of premier cru Burgundy with real depth and finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Premier Cru typically shows a bright ruby color with translucent clarity, reflecting its Pinot Noir character. The nose is likely to open with red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and floral notes, supported by subtle earth, spice, and a touch of oak-derived nuance. On the palate, expect a graceful balance of fresh red fruit, fine tannins, and lively acidity, giving the wine both energy and shape. The finish should be long and detailed, with a mineral edge and savory complexity. While approachable with careful cellaring, this is a wine that should also reward several years of aging, gaining more depth and secondary character over time.

Production
Les Cras is a Premier Cru site in Vougeot, in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, where limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate help Pinot Noir develop precision, aromatic lift, and structure.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, guinea fowl, mushroom dishes, game birds, and delicately prepared veal. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open up.
