Clos de Vougeot, Lucien Le Moine 2010

Reduction dominates the nose but here it seems evident that the fruit beneath the funk is quite ripe. There is excellent volume and richness to the big-bodied flavors that enjoy supporting structural elements that are also phenolically mature before terminating in an austere, powerful and impressively long finish. This is admirably pure and really quite fine, at least within the context of a youthful Clos de Vougeot, an appellation not known for finesse.
