2016 Domaine Fourrier Vougeot 1er Cru 'Les Petits Vougeot' Côte de Nuits

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "This is very charming, bursting from the glass with a bouquet of rose petal, raspberry, red plum and cherry. On the palate the wine is silky, elegant and supple, with an open-knit core of sweet fruit, lovely inner-mouth perfume and a fine-grained, minerally finish."


Vinous - "Bright, moderately saturated medium red. Rather wild scents of crushed cherry stomp, flowers, medicinal herbs and minerals. Offers a lovely fine-grained texture and sweetness of fruit but still in a juicy style for all its ripeness. Very good for this cuvée but there are just three barrels of this juice from 0.34 hectare--or not much above 20 hectoliters per hectare. Savory and long on the aftertaste, with plenty of tannic support."
