Tasting Notes and Scores

The 2017 Vougeot Clos du Villages has a slightly disjointed bouquet at first, but it melds together in the glass, coming across quite tertiary in style. It smells like there is whole bunches here, but Leroux assured me there is none. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, silky-smooth texture and a sorbet-like finish that you could run away and drink right now. Very fine.

Sold in the UK by Goedhuis. Two barrels (second use). Barrel sample. Even with no new oak there is a hint of oak sweetness on the nose, even toasty, perhaps because the wine is less concentrated. Sweet and juicy, relatively simple but appealing. Silky-sweet finish. (JH)
