Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is high-toned and generous on the nose, with red cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, and the oak here is neatly enmeshed with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with perhaps a little too much vanilla-scented oak on the entry, though there is good grip and a solid, licorice-tinged finish that just needs bottle age to soften. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is limpid in appearance. The bouquet is very refined and offers the most fruit intensity of all d’Eugénie’s cuvées, a mixture of red and black fruit plus light touches of oyster shell and fish scales. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip on the entry. Quite a masculine and sturdy Clos de Vougeot, it will need 4–6 years to smooth its edges. But I appreciate the persistence on the aftertaste, residues of white pepper and clove lingering on the tongue. Excellent.
