Note di degustazione
An age-worthy beauty, the 2018 Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru, from the largest Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits, was harvested from 80-year-old vines and saw a touch of whole clusters as well as a mix of new and used French oak. It has a tight, closed, reductive – yet promising – bouquet of ripe black fruits, lit gunpowder, and spice, with an incredible sense of minerality. The palate mirrors the nose and is tight and compact, with a powerful style as well as ripe tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. It needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years and will have 20+ of prime drinking.

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is soft, fruity and forward, in other words quite accessible for this site, where wines tend to be a bit hard in the early going. Crushed rose petal, spice, mint and blood orange give the 2018 lovely aromatic dimension to play off a core of bright red berry fruit. The 2018 will be easy to enjoy with minimal cellaring for a Grand Cru Burgundy. If opened young, it needs a bit of air for a touch of reduction to blow off. (AG)
