Tortochot Clos Vougeot 2019 (750ML)

92 BH

Chantal owns 7 rows of the famed Clos de Vougoet Grand Cru. The average age of the vines across the totality of the Domaine is over 50 years old. The plots are all planted to a very high density of 10,000 plants per hectare and hand harvested into small bins.

Tasting note: Moderate wood sets off an earthy mix of both red and dark currant along with an interesting hint of smoked meat. The acceptably concentrated, supple and nicely rich medium weight flavors possess both good depth and persistence on the youthfully austere finale. This will reward a decade plus of keeping yet should be reasonably approachable after only 5 to 7 years.--Allen Meadows, Burghound
