Neal Martin, December 2021, Score: 91-93
The 2020 Vougeot Les Cras 1er Cru comes from a parcel just opposite the entrance of Château de la Tour. Ripe blackberry and mulberry on the nose, this opens nicely in the glass. The palate is harmonious and quite peppery, fine acidity with a little chalkiness on the Morey-like liquorice-tinged finish. Excellent. Drink 2024 - 2036

Region
Vougeot
Unlike the other predominant Côte de Nuits appellations, Vougeot's main appellation is its onlygrand cru vineyard, Clos de Vougeot. It is by far the largest grand cru of the area totalling over 50 hectares with over 40 owners rumoured to own vines. As a result, its vineyards run from the flat, clay-dominated valley floor to the well-drained, venerated sloped hillsides suggesting that its quality ending on where it is grown. As a result, it is often the least valued of the grand crus and can offer excellent value, particularly in good vintages where ripeness has been attained.
