Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 04 Jan 19
This cuvée is generally an elegant, red-fruited wine that nods to Chambolle, but—at least on this particular day—the 2017 Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeot displays a surprisingly brooding bouquet of plums, cassis and smoked duck. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and tangy, with a good core of fruit and an attractively stony finish.
