Lot #116. Dominique Laurent Clos de Vougeot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Sui Generis 2005

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93-95 WA.
"Representing three barrels from old vines in the Maupertui section that he says give regular if low yields and (in contrast with his nearby Grands Echezeaux) consistently high sugar (“13.7% even in 1998"), Laurent’s 2005 Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes offers deeply-rich aromas and flavors of almost candied black cherry fruit, roasted meats and soy. This is a wine that takes ones palate by storm, displaying enormous breadth and grip, abundant tannins, and detached but not excessive vanilla and resin notes of new wood. It will need a decade, I suspect, even to approach harmonious drinkability." Wine Advocate #171, Jun 2007
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $200
