Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a much better nose than those from Vougeraie and Méo-Camuzet, offering red plum, raspberry preserve, rose petals and hints of sage in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, redcurrant and cranberry fruit, nicely focused with a strict and linear, yet intense finish. Give this another 2-3 years in bottle and you will have a fine Clos de Vougeot. Tasted September 2016.

Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Leaf mould and liquorice on the nose. Chunky tannins and a bit of hole in the middle. A bit ungainly. (JR)
Mid crimson. Relatively evolved and pleasing on the nose. Masses of fruit still unevolved on the palate. Just a little angular and awkward at the moment. A tad light for a grand cru. (JR)
