The 2010 Vougeot Les Petits Vougeots shows good length and persistence, but it, too, comes as a touch angular and compact. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Once again this year I tasted with Charles Van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot’s grandson. Yields were down 30% across the board, a significant drop but not terrible considering the year. Overall the 2010s are very strong and seem to point towards a style that is a bit more refined than in the past.
