Pale but pretty colour. Light fruit on the nose. Spared from the frost and as is typical of such cuvees in 2021 the wine feels more complete ? in fact displaying a particularly long finish. This avoids also the blocky side of Clos Vougeot showing instead a rather fine fresh but light strawbe
There's an openness to this red from its enticing cherry strawberry spice and sun-kissed vegetal aromas and flavors to its bright acidity and light-weight dusty tannins. Balanced and persistent with a deft use of oak and a spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. ?B.S.
Unusually supple and giving for this site the 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru delivers aromas of plums sweet berries vine smoke and spices followed by a medium to full-bodied fleshy and perfumed palate framed by succulent acids and melting tannins.
An unusually perfumed nose in the context of what is typical for young Clos Vougeot is comprised by airy red fruit and possesses less earth character than usual. The delicious middleweight flavors are not especially dense but they are both attractively textured and vibrant all wrapped in a clean sneaky long and youthfully austere finale. This too will need to develop more depth to merit the upper end of my projected range. (Drink starting 2029)
