Joseph Drouhin Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru 2018

7 units available online.
Product description

A revelation and a true wonder! The ruby red color is magnificent and takes on a deeper hue with age. The aromas are intense and evoke raspberry and wild cherry, becoming more complex with age: undergrowth, truffle, candied fruit. A sublime structure, with refined tannins. It is a perfect example of this ideal of elegance according to Drouhin.

A remarkable balance and a lingering persistence of flavors on the palate. It is a wine that always leaves the greatest impression.

Excellent with prime meats: filet mignon, game, wild fowl, venison, and great cheeses.

Drouhin's 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, dark chocolate, incense and petals. Full-bodied, rich and enveloping, it's broad and dramatic, with a concentrated core of fruit, succulent acids, and velvety tannins that render it unusually approachable at this early stage.
