Domaine de la Vougeraie, Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2014

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Vougeraie's 2014 Btard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a ripe and quite generous bouquet with fresh limes, orange zest and just a hint of mango. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, vibrant and generous with just a final touch of passion fruit toward the finish that allows the mineralit to shine. While not a subtle Btard-Montrachet, it is stylish and sophisticated, plus it brims over with flavor. A fabulous wine from Pierre Vincent prior to his departure for Domaine Leflaive.
