Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Gros Frère & Soeur 2016
The wine
This grand cru exudes an extremely rich bouquet from its earliest youth. Although very well made, it should ideally be left to allow time to do its work, enabling its floral (violet, rose) and fruity aromas to evolve into other more complex aromas of licorice, pepper and vanilla. In the mouth, the wine reveals an exquisite, perfect mineral and tannic structure. This racy, elegant wine has been matured in new barrels. A real little gem, produced by one of the Côte de Nuits's flagship domains.
