Tasting notes
The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru shakes off a bit of reduction to reveal glorious brambly red fruit laced with tobacco, crushed stone and seamlessly knitted oak on a nose that is focused and sophisticated. The palate has a satiny texture, beautifully judged acidity, almost symmetrical balance and a long, sensual finish. This is utterly seductive and has the substance to age magnificently. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Timid nose at this stage but it's pretty promising with fine tannins and firm ripe fruit. Long-term wine but it should deliver. (JR)
The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a detailed, precise bouquet, very pure with ripe dark cherries, kirsch, orange sorbet and subtle graphite aromas. It is one of the classiest that you will come across from this ancient vineyard this year. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin that feel a little fuller and suppler than the premier cru Vosne-Romanées. Grippy in the mouth with an effervescent finish, this is a long-term Clos de Vougeot that will age effortlessly over 20-30 years.
