Domaine de la Vougeraie Chassagne 1er Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle Blanc 2021
This luscious new arrival dazzles from the first sip. An enticing bouquet of honeysuckle, gardenia, and lemon zest sets the stage. On the palate, a silky texture carries concentrated citrus confections (tangerine, lemon, and orange peel) balanced by poached apples, peaches, and a briny salinity. Hints of fresh, buttery croissant and clarified butter meld with subtle creamy oak on the superb finish. There’s a clean, well-built structure with underlying matchstick and sulfur notes, adding complexity. Elegant yet powerful, with a touch of honeycomb and a salty edge, this white wine is both delicious and age-worthy to enjoy now through 2029.
