2018 Clos de Vougeot, Bouchard Pere & Fils (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has quite a perfumed bouquet with brambly red fruit, sous-bois and wilted rose petals. This has delicacy and finesse. The palate is medium-bodied with a citrus-fresh entry, blood orange and marmalade infusing the dark berry fruit. Nicely proportioned with just a little oak to be soaked up on the chewy finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes solely from the plot in the upper part of the clos since the plot at the bottom was pulled up last year. This includes 50% whole cluster, which you cannot sense at all. It has a refined and well-defined bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and briar aromas that gradually unfurl in the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and fine acidity. Quite harmonious, with a smooth, creamy finish that will need three or four years in bottle. This is a composed, pure Clos Vougeot.
