Vougeot has close affinities with its illustrious near neighbors (Clos de Vougeot, Musigny, Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses). Its color is between crimson and purple - deep, dark and luminous. It develops aromas of violet and small fruits (Morello cherry, blackcurrant). When older, it leans towards underbrush, fallen leaves and truffle over animal notes. In the mouth, it has a four-sided structure but its tannins are nonetheless delicate. The attack is straightforward, acidity and chewiness are harmoniously balanced, and the finish often carries a hint of licorice.
