Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from François Lamarche has a conservative, rather foursquare nose with broody red fruit with a touch of burnt match. The palate is medium-bodied with rather rustic tannins, quite ferrous but lacking just a little weight on the finish. This has not reached the potential it showed out of barrel but perhaps it is enduring an awkward phase?

Mid cherry. Cedary spice with brightness of dark-red fruit behind. Savoury, chewy, dry and youthful. (JH)
