Tasting notes
The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing well, bursting with aromas of cassis, plums, forest floor and spices. Full-bodied, firm and muscular, with lively underpinning acids, this is a chewy, broad-shouldered wine that's promising, but it will require patience. This derives from one parcel in the lieu-dit Petit Maupertuis and another located below the Château de Latour.

A relatively elegant, ripe and airy nose combines notes of red cherry, raspberry, earth and a pretty spice wisp. The rich and full-bodied flavors evidence very good power on the firmly structured, complex and impressively persistent finish. This too is old school in style, though not especially rustic, and like the Corton is built-to-age.
