2017 Domaine de la VOUGERAIE (Prémeaux-Prissey) -- Part II: Whites Tasted from Cask and Tank Samples

Whites will spend 3 months in stainless steel before bottling. None was yet bottled when I tasted them last month. 

In addition to less oak than in the past, there was less bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) than before, a maximum 2 times per week, stopping in December. 

There was no chaptalization in 2017, and alcohols are 12-12.5º.

As with the reds, this is a very strong line-up of wines. (Continue reading here.)
