Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 15
(from the climat Maupertuis): Bright red-ruby. Medicinal and minty nuances to the aromas of black cherry, violet and licorice; an essence of Clos Vougeot on the nose. Dense, sappy and backward, with black and blue fruit flavors supported by a firm tannic spine. In a distinctly masculine style. In fact, these négociant wines generally come across as more tannic than Forey's estate bottlings; they finished their malos later and may be bottled later as well.

Three casks from three different spots. Monpertuis. Has a really subtle top note and great depth. Really exciting – yet another great Clos Vougeot 2013! Firm and promising. Really excellent depth and breadth. So sophisticated and long term. (JR)
