Tasting notes
(this comes from a 0.4-hectare clos on deep clay soil; just two barrels made, one new and recently racked and the other used): Medium red. Very perfumed, ripe scents of strawberry, cherry and spices. A plush, gentle, suave style of wine with a hint of salinity to its red fruit flavors. Finishes broad and persistent, with very fine-grained tannins. This will be bottled by the end of January.

The 2016 Vougeot Clos du Villages has ample red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit on the nose with candied orange peel and violet aromas behind a small reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity, structured not unlike a Morey-Saint-Denis with a focused, saline finish that displays fine tension. This is an unusual Burgundy but a fine one.
Two pièces. About to be racked. Sold almost only in UK by Goedhuis. Pale crimson. Unusual to have a village Vougeot. Fresh and energetic with some ferny quality. Full of fruit and charm. Savoureux. GV ? (JR)
