This 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru reveals an alluring aromatic profile of black cherry, wild raspberry, and crushed rose, underscored by layers of cedar, spice, and earthy truffle. On the palate, it is bold yet composed, offering a core of concentrated red and dark fruits framed by firm, ripe tannins and a mineral backbone that imparts freshness and definition. The oak is seamlessly woven into the wine, lending polish and texture without distraction. It culminates in a long, noble finish that resonates with subtle floral and savory tones, hinting at its Grand Cru pedigree. Jancis Robinson describes it as deep crimson with a ruby rim, offering luxuriously inviting fruit, lightly peppery, with a firmer yet incredibly smooth texture and structure that shapes the black fruit, building to a chewy and long finish.

The elegant bouquet combines small red fruits with notes of violet and liquorice.
