  March 4, 2022 - This is good. Much better than the 1er Vougeot was on day 1. It's got the classic Fourrier fruit - very forward, quite ripe, with a bit of candied and jammy quality (in a good way). Ripe strawberries and cherries. Combined with that is a wonderful savory - meaty - earthy note that is very Gevrey. Perfumed and pure with great lift. A bit of spice and florals too. The palate is similar but even better - the melange of the sweet fruit and the meaty-savory goodness is wonderful and even though it is light it really fills the mouth with flavor - good acid, nice balance and lift. There's a citrus squirt that comes on in the mid palate when a glass is first poured. The savory note expands and brings in a stemmy nuance as well and these carry into the long and crisp finish. This is a great bottle of red burg and stellar for a village wine. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.
  
  Day 2: This really dropped off from day 1 - the nose isn't nearly as perfumed or explosive, and the palate seems more muted as well.
  
  Day 3: Better than day 2 but not up to how good this was on day 1. Some fruit and nice savory notes. But if you can, drain it when opened.
