Tasting notes
Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes wafts from the glass with notes of sweet berry fruit, plums, raw cocoa, warm spices, petals and burning embers. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with high concentration and beautifully refined tannins, it's deep and elegantly muscular, with a long, lively finish. Tightly wound, this will reward bottle age.

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru displays more complexity and mineralité on the nose compared to the Cuvée Classique; the fruit is a little darker, revealing hints of cola and sous-bois . The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lithe and fine-boned. Slightly chalky-textured toward the precise finish. This is actually more 2019 in style. A resounding success.
