Bouchard Pere & Fils Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Complex bouquet of red and black berries with spicy and slightly oaky notes. Dazzling elegance on the palate, with a perfect blend of finesse and raciness. Very good aging potential. Pair with red meat dishes, roasted or in sauce, game birds, medium-flavored cheese. Their plot is protected by the wall, so a respectable crop. A brighter fresher colour. Bright red fruit with fair depth, much fresher at the finish, some pleasing crunchiness with the tannins nicely integrated. The crunch comes from the 100% whole bunch. Drink from 2028-2034. Barrel Sample: 92-95 The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from a single plot in the higher sector close to the wall that offered some protection from the frost. Composed and focused on the nose, this unfurls in the glass with quite mineral-rich dark berry fruit mixed with peony and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. Harmonious and quite poised, not a powerful Clos de Vougeot yet full of energy and tension. This is beautifully crafted.Barrel Sample: 92-94 Offering up aromas of dark berries, cassis, burning embers, spices and licorice, the 2021 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, rich, layered and textural, with powdery tannins and an unusually muscular, broad-shouldered profile for the vintage.Barrel Sample: 91-93
