Wine information
The wine comes from vines in the Grand Cru Clos Vougeot. After destemming, cool pre-fermentation and spontaneous fermentation, the wine is aged slowly on the fine lees for 18 months in 228-litre barriques containing 75 to 100 % of new wood.
Color
deep, almost opaque purple
Nose
It should come as no surprise that the Clos Vougeot is one of the wines in Charlopin-Tissier's repertoire that needs the most time. With plenty of air, however, it opens up in an almost beguiling way with a combination of wild strawberries, raspberries and sour cherries, malt, liquorice, clove and undergrowth, foliage and new wood of the best provenance.
Palate
On the palate the Clos Vougeot Youthful impetuosity with tension and firm phenolic, ripe extract sweetness as well as tart and mineral notes. It is deep and powerful, firmly structured and yet already supple, darkly aromatic and adapted in acidity. The high new wood content is noticeable, but will integrate very well. You can already feel it now. A lot is already coming together here - give the wine time!
