The Vougeot Premier Cru Les Petits Vougeots is one of the finest Premier Cru vineyards of Vougeot, ideally located between two legendary terroirs: the famous Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru and Les Amoureuses in Chambolle-Musigny. The village of Vougeot owes its worldwide reputation to the Clos de Vougeot, cleared and enclosed by the monks of Cîteaux at the end of the 12th century, who later built the château that today houses the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. The climat takes its name from the small spring known as the Petite Vouge or Vougeotte. Its deep, stony and perfectly drained soils produce a Pinot Noir combining aromatic finesse, depth and excellent ageing potential.

Appearance: Bright, deep ruby-red colour.

Nose: Intense and refined with aromas of violet, raspberry, Morello cherry and blackcurrant, evolving towards forest floor, truffle and liquorice with age.
