Vougeot: Domaine Bertagna 'Le Village' Rouge 2020
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
A full, succulent red Vougeot from a tiny plot on the north-eastern side of the village. This elegant Pinot Noir grown on sandier soils is medium-light in body with an intense nose of sandalwood, ripe tomato, red berry fruit and spice with deliciously fine-grained tannins and lovely length and balance - it benefits from decanting.
Fragrant nose of redcurrant and raspberries with underlying earthy spice. On the palate, rounded and juicy cranberry flavours and fresh acidity balance fine-grained tannins, a touch of cedar and lingering length.
Overlooking the famous ‘Clos’ of Vougeot, Domaine Bertagna’s wines are farmed organically (not certified) and green harvesting takes place to ensure only the best fruit makes it into the final wine.
Serve with: A herb-encrusted rack of lamb.
