Clos de Vougeot, Joseph Drouhin 2015

Tasting Notes

A very ripe nose features notes of plum, cassis, humus, forest floor and violet. The velvet-textured, concentrated and very serious big-bodied flavors possess seemingly endless reserves of sappy dry extract which helps to buffer the very firm tannic spine on the mocha-infused finish. This beautifully complex effort is less austere than it usually is at this point though the structure makes it pointedly clear that this is going to age for a very long time. Note: Drouhin owns .91 ha in two parcels that are rarely blended as the lower portion is typically sold; 40% whole clusters Drink: 2032+
