Note di degustazione
The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is quite voluptuous on the nose with kirsch, crushed strawberry and hints of blood orange, very perfumed and nicely delineated. This has panache. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, plenty of slightly toasty red fruit laced with orange rind and mandarin. Not amazingly complex due to Brettanomyces that eventually dominates. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru contains 40% whole cluster from the oldest parts of the vineyard, the younger vines de-stemmed. Apparently it struggled to complete its alcoholic fermentation and had to be transferred back into barrel, where it finally finished in June 2019. It has an intriguing bouquet with brown spices and black pepper infusing the vibrant red fruit that leaps from the nose. The palate is well balanced with fine, saturated tannins. The whole bunch is very well assimilated and lends complexity and precision on the finish. Superb.
