Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2017

A markedly floral if decidedly reticent nose that is trimmed in subtle oak influence speaks of spiced plum, lavender, violet and red cherry. The attractively concentrated and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannins on the powerful and slightly grippy finish that exudes a hint of bitter chocolate. At least some patience is definitely advised as this youthfully austere effort is likely to evolve slowly.

À propos de Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
