Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
The 2011 Clos-Vougeot comes across as deep, powerful and also closed in on itself. Here the flavors are beautifully centered and polished throughout. Fine, crystalline tannins support the bright, delineated finish. The 2011 is a rare Clos Vougeot that is both finessed and powerful. The bright, saline finish is hard to resist.

The 2011 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a mineral-led bouquet that opens wonderfully in the glass to reveal subtle raspberry leaf and bergamot scents, potpourri emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grippy tannins, succulent mulberry and black currant notes that line the structured and quite masculine finish. Superb. Drink 2015-2028+. Having been bowled over by the sublime 2012s, the Marie-Christine took me through the domaine’s 2011s, which provided a useful opportunity to compare the two vintages, in particular with respect to the Ruchottes-Chambertin. Importer: several importers including Michael Skurnik and North Berkeley (US) and Lea & Sandeman, Howard Ripley and Lay & Wheeler (UK).

Still quite a blueish crimson. Merest hint of acetic on the nose. Good structure for the long term with some reasonably promising embryonic fruit in the middle of the framework. Crunchy and crackling. (JR)
