"This and the Latricières are from the oldest vines of the Domaine and this wine comes from a superbly situated 1-hectare parcel of Clos de Vougeot high on the hill. A slightly riper blend of red and blue pinot fruit, violets and plenty of warm earth also suffuses the rich, full-bodied and very serious broad-shouldered flavors. This enjoys an abundance of tannin-buffering dry extract that confers a sappy texture to the driving, complex and hugely long finish. This is a first-rate example of this uneven appellation and well worth considering." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jan 2012 |
