Clos de Vougeot

2001 Mugneret Dr Georges Clos de Vougeot

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour, pretty much transitions between cherry and ruby-red. A lovely nose, impressive in a sort of understated way, medium-sweet, precise red raspberry and berry fruits of lovely width, hints of cedar and finally caramel too. In the glass it gradually becomes creamier and rounder with high tones, more and more depth – impressive. In the mouth the wine is fresh, intense and perfectly showcases the texture of the 2001 tannins – super smooth and a different class to most 2002’s. Depth, intensity and tasteful oak on the creamy length. Top-class 2001 and very drinkable – I’m stocking-up.

Medium-plus colour. Thick cherry compote nose. Lovely fruit, thick tannins and good acidity. This has an earthy character and is a touch astringent, but is very good indeed.

From 3 separate parcels of vines blended together for the first time this vintage. Medium colour. High toned but very reserved nose; even cold from the cellar some spicyness, and eventually some fruit start to come through with swirling. Very concentrated palate with lovely tannins. An excellent example.
