Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2024
A more spiced and deeply pitched wine than the Chambolle 1er Cru, with sweet earth notes and larger-framed yet still polished tannins. Indeed, this has a good deal more stature than anything preceding it in the tasting. Savoury complexity rides below the plummy fruit on the persistent finish. Just a single cuvée of Clos Vougeot will be produced in 2024. Méo-Camuzet has brilliantly- situated vines in Clos de Vougeot; one big parcel just in front of the Château at the northwest end of the vineyard and a second smaller plot in Grand Maupertuis. A third of the vines were planted in the 1920s, a third in the1960s and the rest are 20-30 years old.
critic reviews
The 2024 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was pre-blended in July so there is just one cuvée this year. It has an understated bouquet, mainly red fruit mixed with briar and light peppery scents, again one of those cuvées that deceives you into thinking there is some whole bunch. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant red fruit, a touch of blood orange the 80% new oak neatly integrated. Again, this is a cuvée that might have the edge over the previous vintage.
