Tasting notes
Hudelot-Noëllat’s Clos Vougeot is an impressive wine – offering layers of dark bramble fruit and savoury tones. It’s both firm and supple, with beautiful freshness. There’s a real brightness to the fruit too – vivid, alluring and vibrant, complementing the round tannins and medium body. There’s an earthy seriousness to the wine, dominating the long finish.

A beautifully layered and fresh nose offers up notes of essence of plum, rose petal, anise and hints of wood toast, forest floor and the sauvage. Once again there is a lovely and caressing mouthfeel to the medium weight and tautly muscular flavors that possess good delineation and a touch of minerality that adds a touch of lift to the firm, serious and sneaky long finish where a bit of youthful austerity eventually emerges.

The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a deep, broad-shouldered wine, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, incense and spices complemented by hints of potpourri and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's lively and youthfully taut, with everything required to reward a bit of patience.
A vivid mid purple. The bouquet suggests some concentration but a youthful hiding of the detail. On the palate, this is clearly extremely well-constructed and the deep red fruit fills the mouth. Tannins are fine boned, and there is enough acidity. Let this age quietly for a decade and a fine Clos V will emerge.
