An unusually spicy (for Clos de Vougeot) nose offers up cool and airy aromas of various red berries, floral and earth nuances that are trimmed in a hint of oak. There is once again good volume, mid-palate concentration and punch to the sappy flavors that conclude in a powerful finish that also flirts with dryness though it is less evident than in the Cuvée des Alouettes as here it seems more likely that the tannins will eventually round out.
Vinous
The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru comes from two different parcels, one on the Vosne-Romanée side in Petit Maupertuis and the other toward the bottom of the clos under the Château de la Tour. It has quite an opulent bouquet of macerated small black cherries and bilberry jam, though the late malolactic means that there is still some reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. This feels dense, almost opaque at the moment, offering layers of black cherry and boysenberry laced with orange peel and brown spices toward the grippy finish. Give this five to seven years in bottle. One of the best from the _ domaine_ this year.
