Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2014

A wonderful Clos de Vougeot with complex ripe gourmand fruit, notes of bay and juniper and grippy yet silk textured tannins. Impressive concentration and complexity that takes in woody herbal flavours rather than forest notes and a gently saline finish. A structure reminiscent of shoulders clothed in velvet epaulettes, a superb Clos de Vougeot. Philippe Drouhin's parcel of Clos de Vougeot is particularly well situated and it shows in the wine; year in and year out it is consistently one of the best examples there is of this huge Grand Cru.
