The 2016 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru confirms its brilliant showing from barrel, unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries, orange rind and peony that mingle with savory bass-notes of espresso roast, dark chocolate and subtle grilled meats. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with immense depth at the core, a magical sense of completeness, a satiny chassis of tannin and a long, penetrating finish. Broad-shouldered but elegant, this very Clos Vougeot is very impressive indeed.
