commencing on 23 September – whereas these days it usually begins around 3 September

Interestingly this is much more floral than the Champonnets with notes of rose petal

Looks quite mature ruby

but they're ripe and silky

The nose is sweet

Frederic Magnien, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2019 commencing on 23 September –This is also ultra earthy with its restrained nose of red and dark currant that display background hints of floral, spice and sandalwood nuances. The supple and quite round middle weight flavors possess good volume and punch though only limited depth on the saline, youthfully austere and solidly persistent finish. I suspect that this will tighten up once it is bottled yet be accessible after 6 to 8 years if desired. (89 92) 2026+
