2019 Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

Distinctly earthy aromas are comprised by notes of both red and dark currant along with pretty floral wisps. There is again a really lovely mid-palate texture to the punchy, muscular and solidly powerful broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in a beautifully complex, long and youthfully austere finale. This isn't as refined as the Beaux Monts, but it stops short of being rustic

The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very perfumed, floral bouquet of ebullient dark plum and elderberry fruit intermingled with light sea spray/seaweed aromas, all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity and a crunchy, minerally finish that does this ancient clos proud. Superb. Give it 5–6 years in bottle.
