Clos de Vougeot, Domaine Jean Grivot 2006

Tasting Notes

A discreet, even reticent nose of earthy and very fresh dark berry fruit evinces a subtle sauvage character that continues onto the big and sleekly muscled flavors that are concentrated and mouth coating, all wrapped in a the classically austere young Clos de Vougeot finish that delivers excellent length. This is a serious effort that is balanced and should age extremely well though it will require ample patience.

A peppery, spicy version, augmented by cherry, berry and mineral flavors. Lean and sinewy, with assertive, fine-grained tannins drivingthe finish. It all comes together on the aftertaste, with fruit and mineral notes. Best from 2012 through 2025.
