Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2020

First impressions reveal a remarkably suave and slick Clos de Vougeot, but it is a lot more complex than it first seems and before too long it shows what a serious and genuine Grand Cru it is. Long, expansive silky dark and blue fruits cover the palate, whilst a red cherry and red berry freshness helps keep up the momentum. Earthier, deeper notes characterise the long finish with notes of earth and spice. Stunning Clos de Vougeot. Méo Camuzet has brilliantly situated vines in Clos de Vougeot, one big parcel is just in front of the Château at the north-west end of the vineyard. A third of the vines were planted in the 1920s, a third 1960s and the rest replanted 20-30 years old. The wine can withstand a large proportion of new oak during its elevage in barriques, which in this case is 85%.
