Tasting notes

The 2016 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully primary bouquet of ripe cherries, red berries, candied peel and cassis that's subtly framed by some nicely integrated new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny textured, its broad-shouldered chassis of impressively fine-grained tannin cloaked in a succulent, even tangy core of vibrant fruit, concluding with a long and nicely defined finish. While the structure is sufficiently refined that drinking a glass now isn't a brutalizing experience, a decade of patience is recommended.

Overall, Louis Jadot's Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of Burgundy's terroir and winemaking traditions. It is a wine that will age gracefully for many years, and it is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.
