Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has more depth and complexity compared directly with the Echézeaux, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and tobacco, broody at first but opening nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent fleshy red fruit on the opening, laced with orange rind, brown spices and a touch of truffle. Good depth and muscle towards the finish, maybe missing the precision of the best examples in 2019, though impressive in terms of persistence. Excellent.

Cask sample. Mid crimson. Sweet, lightly spiced dark-red fruit. Ripe with a hint of dried fruit too. Firm, chewy, with good depth of fruit but a slight hardness on the finish. Very dry and a little drying. (JH)
