Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at Fine & Rare Wines' Clos Vougeot tasting, the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Faiveley has a little flatness on the nose compared to others, not quite as complex, slightly mulch-like with a light herbaceous seam. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight hardness on the entry. This lacks a little momentum and tension, what you might call a "static" Clos Vougeot that feels chewy on the finish. I've tasted much better wines from Faiveley in recent vintages.

Tasted blind. Light crimson. Quite evolved with some gaminess. Sweet start. Rather sweet and sour with some chewiness on the finish. Rather gruff for the moment. There is a dissonance between the evolution on the nose – verging on rhubarb-like stewed fruit – and the youthful tannins. (JR)
Red-fruited, relatively light aroma, a little dusty, then more spicy depth on the palate. Rounded, smoothed tannins, with what seems like lower acidity than is typical for the vintage, though it is not lacking. Gevrey Clos des Issarts seems much better value. (JH)
Good deep red. Wild black cherry, licorice, crushed herbs, earth and a smoky nuance on the nose. Sweet on entry, then cool and medicinal in the mid-palate, with black cherry and licorice flavors dominating. Faiveley will bottle this very backward wine considerably later than the Echézeaux, probably in June, notes Hervet. Finishes quite tight, with a serious tannic spine calling for extended cellaring.
