"The 2006 Clos de Vougeot from the Mongeard family is a fine young wine, with its tannins starting to soften up nicely, but full maturity still at least another five or six years away and its true apogee probably more like a dozen years down the road. The fine nose delivers a complex blend of plums, baked cherries, coffee, roasted venison, bonfires, a fien base of soil and a judicious framing of nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still quite primary in terms of flavor complexity, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine focus and grip and a long, moderately tannic and very well-balanced finish. This will be a very good example with a bit more bottle age."
