2018 Edouard Delaunay Vougeot 1er Cru 'Les Petits Vougeots'

Lovely cherry red colour, limpid in aspect. Endowed with an elegant, airy, fine nose that is subtle and delicate, boasting floral scents (peony, rose), a slight touch of freshly cut cherry wood, warm notes of light tobacco along with aromas of red berries (redcurrant, pomegranate) and ripe cherry. These aromas then open up to notes of vanilla and clafoutis with nuances of almond and sugared almonds. On the palate, this wine boasts a very soft, supple, silky, velvety texture that nevertheless finishes on a note of peppery tannins, leaving an impression of freshness. Flavours are reminiscent of alcohol-preserved fruit, plums, a hint of chocolate and notes of cinnamon. This is a complex, delicate wine that will require some time in its youth (opening the bottle shortly before serving) in order for it to reveal all of its depth.
