Clos de Vougeot

1996 Jadot Louis Clos de Vougeot

By on June 30, 2003 #asides

Deep colour. Nose is black cherry with soil and fallen leaves. The palate has prominent furry tannins and very good acidity. The fruit is incredibly intense black cherry, in fact almost sour cherries. Very long too, though still very young. This wine is more structured and primary than most 2000’s and I wouldn’t touch another for 4-5 years. Excellent potential.

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.

2001 Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot

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.
