Product Notes

Tasting Notes

When young, our Clos-de-Vougeot develops a very complete and varied aromatic palette of wild red and black berries. With aging, it evolves towards notes of light tobacco and tea. The palate is robust but not rustic, with a mentholated note that may be appreciated vintage after vintage.
