"Like the Le Mont Premier Trie, the 2008 Clos du Bourg Premier Trie is a beautiful wine on both the nose and palate. The level of botrytis here seems a tad greater than in the Le Mont, but perhaps that is just how the wine is showing at the present time. In any event, the Clos du Bourg Premier Trie offers up a magical bouquet of pink grapefruit, honeycomb, apples, utterly refined and complex soil tones, orange peel and a complex floral topnote that recalls both apple blossoms and bee pollen. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, complex and full-bodied, with a beautiful core of fruit, great focus and cut, bright acids and outstanding length and grip on the supremely elegant finish. This is a tad more closed and reticent than the Le Mont Premier Trie at the present time, but it may well be every bit as good as that magical wine."
