The 2020 Vougeot Les Petits Vougeot 1er Cru is well-defined on the nose, a mixture of black cherry and blueberry fruit, pressed violets and veins of blood orange. The palate already conveys a sense of energy, sorbet-fresh red fruit laced with dessicated orange peel, touches of stem ginger emerging towards the spicy finish. Very impressive length. This is excellent.
There is enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background. The finer if less concentrated middle weight flavors flash good minerality on the lingering finish which displays an interesting note of tobacco. This should drink well on the younger side if that's your preference.
The 2020 Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeot bursts with aromas of peonies, plums, orange rind, rose petals and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, perfumed and sensual, with melting tannins and lively acids, it's seamless and charming, concluding with a long, saline finish. It's well worth seeking out.
