Note di degustazione
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a pastille-like bouquet with red cherries, kirsch and orange sorbet aromas, pretty if just missing a little complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good substance and grip, fanning out gently towards the mineral-driven finish with a dash of spice on the aftertaste. This Clos de Vougeot improves with aeration and ends up being rather lovely. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

(13.3% alcohol; from domain and purchased grapes; this wine had just received a light lenticular filtration and was scheduled for bottling in February): Good medium red. Deep, ripe aromas of cherry, underbrush, menthol and spicy oak. Richer on entry than the Petits-Monts, then more solid but less sweet in the middle palate, with redcurrant and menthol flavors that reminded me a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. This youthfully brooding wine finishes classically dry, with building tannins.
