The 2009 Vougeot les Cras is another wine that has begun to close in on itself. Sweet red berries, flowers and spices emerge gradually from this mid-weight, slightly fleeting wine. The use of 50% whole clusters comes through in the wine’s expressive bouquet and gracious, medium-bodied structure. There is an awful lot to like. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2029.
