Note di degustazione
(75% new oak): Good red-ruby color. Withdrawn but pure aromas of blackberry, black cherry, dark chocolate and spicy oak. Not as obviously dense as the Boudots but nicely delineated and rather stylish for Clos Vougeot, with its flavors of dark berries, mint and licorice complemented by saline soil tones. I find this slightly high-toned wine quite suave for its vintage. The serious but fine-grained tannins arrive late and build with air. This cuvée is typically the highest in pH in this cellar but not in 2015; in fact, at 3.49 it's quite reasonable in the context of this very warm year.

Bright red-ruby. Deep, brooding, very pure scents of blackberry, cassis, minerals and nutty oak. Fine-grained and polished, conveying lovely inner-mouth lift to the glossy black fruit, violet and licorice flavors. A distinctly noble style of Clos Vougeot with the density to support its sweet tannins. Firm but not at all clenched, finishing with rising violet perfume. This cuvée often has the highest pH in the cellar, but this year it's 3.49 while the RSV is 3.62.
(from 40+ year old vines situated at the very top of the hill hard by the Château). Firm reduction. I very much like the rich and velvety mouth feel of the extract-rich medium weight plus flavors that are shaped by notably firm but not hard tannins on the powerful, serious and mocha-inflected finish. This is very ripe but it manages to avoid the youthful austerity that is so typical of young Clos de Vougeot. At last moderate patience required. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
