Note di degustazione
(Drouhin did not use include their lower parcel in the blend in 2013): Good dark red. Very high-pitched, intensely spicy nose. Intensely flavored and fresh, displaying terrific spicy energy to its dark cherry and mineral flavors. Conveys a captivating impression of weightlessness. Ripe tannins are already nicely integrated with the wine's fruit. This should gain in complexity as it unfolds with bottle aging.

Tasted blind at Fine & Rare Wines' Clos Vougeot tasting, the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Maison Joseph Drouhin has a light and breezy nose, not as complex as others, but with attractive red cherry, crushed strawberry and violet aromas. It actually gains more nuance as it opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with nicely interwoven new oak. Modest weight in the mouth, what I like here is the well-judged acidity that maintains tension from start to finish. It needs time to fully subsume the wood; and to quibble, it needs more persistence. But at its core is a really quite pretty, comely Clos Vougeot.
Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Sweet and autumnal on the nose. Rather light, tart and simple on the palate however. Finish is decidedly pinched. (JR)
