Tasting notes
The sweet perfume, talcum powder, freshly cut flower, and candied cherry-scented 1999 Clos Vougeot (domaine) is a chewy-textured, medium to full-bodied wine. This dense ("This is the densest wine we produced in 1999," said Pierre-Henri Gagey), powerful, and intense wine has loads of blackberry and cassis liqueur-like fruit that is intermingled with magnificently sweet tannin. Its impressively long finish reveals additional layers of candied fruits. Drink it between 2005 and 2012+. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300.

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
