Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru contains a huge wave of concentrated, glycerin-rich red fruit that lacks subtlety, but at least there is a sense of purity here. The palate is velvety-smooth and luscious, with a sweet, candied, persistent finish. It's a bit over the top, but it is undeniably balanced, and in a decade's time—once it has assimilated the new oak—it could become quite wonderful. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Not quite such a deep crimson as this producer's 2019 Vosne Beaux Monts. Sumptuous, savoury, heady, layered nose. Sweet palate entry and real tension on the palate. Lip-smacking fruit and particularly polished tannins. A note of bitter black cherries adds interest. Light grip on the end before persistent vibrant fruit on the finish. Yet another fine 2019 Clos de Vougeot. (JR)
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is also very promising, mingling aromas of cherries, earthy wild berries, rose petals and spices in an incipiently complex mélange. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's elegantly muscular and built for the long haul, its enveloping core of fruit largely concealing serious reserves of fine, powdery tannins.
