Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2009
justerini & brooks tasting note
Initially surly and brooding, this is a serious Grand Cru that packs a firm punch; powerful, gripping fruit flavours of dark berries, black cherries, plums, minerals with hints of spice and coal dust, a wine for laying down.

The Clos de Vougeot is gorgeous in 2009. This is an especially dark, brooding Clos Vougeot. Dark red cherries, plums, tar and licorice are some of the many notes that take shape in this explosive, beguiling Burgundy. The sheer energy and drive make the Clos Vougeot a standout. Graphite, mint and licorice linger on the pointed, focused finish.
