    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Génot Boulanger, Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2017

    The only 2017 at the estate to be fermented with whole bunches (30%). That typically Clos de Vougeot brooding quality but with a great deal more snap and definition than expected. This manages to be an incredibly precise Clos de Vougeot without sacrificing richness, stature or depth. Pure, clear flavours of loganberry, raspberry and Victoria plum with a gentle earthiness grounding the lively fruit. A parcel planted in 1986, that comprises a 150 metre long parcel of vines that pass over a range of soil types, more clay in the lower part and rockier limestone in the higher part. Aged in 20% new oak.

    The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru had just a very tiny reduction on the nose (the wine had not been racked, so expected), though there is plenty of fruit here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine weight, slightly granular in texture with good concentration and structure towards the persistent finish. This has pedigree.
