Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2015
Velvety curvaceous Clos Vougeot, long and voluptuous notes of sloe, cherry and loganberry. Hints of crème de mûre on the finish. Larger-framed than the other Lamarche wines but not too broad or cumbersome. A glorious Clos Vougeot. A blend of three parcels within the Clos de Vougeot, one from the bottom part of the vineyard, one from the middle on the Vosne side, and one higher up near to the Château.
critic reviews
The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has perhaps the most succinct bouquet of 16 peers tasted blind, offering very discreet red and black fruit intermixed with pencil lead, sous-bois and dried orange peel. The palate is very well balanced, displaying a fine bead of acidity, traces of graphite and brown spices, filigreed tannin and a poised, classy finish. This Clos de Vougeot testifies to some top-notch winemaking craftsmanship. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
