Tasting notes
Pale color. Aromas of lemon ice and crushed rock. Bigger, richer and smokier than the "regular" Clos but perhaps a bit less pristine today, with vanilla and resiny notes to go with the powerful minerality. Broad and weighty but extremely backward. This parcel is situated lower on the hillside than the regular Clos, and there's more clay in the soil here-as well as more humidity.

(aging in 50% new oak) Very good pale yellow. Very ripe aromas of pineapple and spicy oak, with heavier suggestions of candied fruit and fruit syrup. Rich and oily in the mouth, with flavors of pineapple nectar and flowers. Despite its depth of texture, this is quite dry and austere today, with a substantial structure for aging. Finishes broader and oakier than the "regular" Clos. The Clos des Hospices is located low on the hill, where the soil is deeper and there's more humidity.
