Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

Light

Natural Cork

The domaine-owned 2.21-hectare block (the third-largest holding in the Clos) is mostly split between the sections known as the Clos Quartier de Marei Bas and the Baudes Saint-Martin, with a bit of Grand Maupertuis and a sliver of Baudes Hautes.  The 2018 opened slowly to eventually reveal a plummy fruit generously accented with oak.  Gradually a smoky note develops that recalls the heat of the year.  The weight on the palate is significant and the texture velvety, with surprising freshness for the vintage.  The tannins, however, are very firm and a bit astringent, which seem to cut the finish short.

Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero
