Mongeard Mugneret Vougeot 1er Cru Les Cras 2016 Non-vintage A blend of 58/14/14/9/5% cabernetThe 2016 Vougeot 1er Cru Les Cras opens in the glass with notes of smoky cassis, raspberries, espresso roast and spices, framed by toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied, broad and supple, with a vivid core of fruit, racy acids and fine but youthfully chewy tannins, concluding with a penetrating and oak inflected finish. This is a success in its somewhat old fashioned style and will reward bottle age. William Kelley Wine Advocate
