Note di degustazione
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was the one wine from this vineyard that performed far above my initial expectations from barrel. It has a bright and perky nose: red cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry scents with a background of limestone emerging over time. The oak is neatly assimilated here and it blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy yet still with sufficient grip. This fans out nicely on the finish, which feels elegant and understated. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru feels a little earthy and stemmy on the nose, though it is completely de-steamed; light floral scents emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly stemmy opening, moderate depth and a little dryness towards the finish. I'm not quite convinced by this Clos Vougeot and actually err towards some of Vougeraie's better Premier Crus.
The dark ruby hue and fragrant plummy fruit with spice and leather notes are a fitting prelude to the density and firm tannins on the palate. The muscular structure leads to a satisfyingly long finish. The grapes come from a hectare along the road to the Château (in Montiottes Hautes) and half a hectare at the bottom of the Clos (in Baudes St‑Martin), picked four days apart and blended after vinification.
