Food: Italian @ Gia Condition: perfect, from magnum Duration: 4 hours Aroma: tropical fruits, white flowers, guava Notes: thanks to a few of my wine friends I had a CC of Vougerie of 2005 and I absolutely loved it. Therefore I bought a 2006 to try and it didn't disappoint. Breathed for 4 hours it showed stunning tropical fruits and white flowers with a very silky aftertaste. Interestingly no Corton minerality in this wine so it's very appealing. I think this wine is actually closer to some of the Montrachets I've had before and if tasted blind I don't think my guess will go to corton. Loved it and I'll buy as many as I can find.

Straw hue. Aromatics of pear jus, green golden butterscotch, marshmallow, chamomile flower and spice. Concentration, decadence, roundness and forward nature with nice balance, acidity and liveliness. Drinking quite weil!
