Clos de Vougeot, Domaine d'Eugénie 2023

Pretty and beautifully layered aromas include those of dark currant, violet and plenty of newly turned earth nuances. The rich, caressing and delicious middle weight flavors also possess a relatively sophisticated mouthfeel thanks mainly to the fine-grained tannins shaping the youthfully austere, firm, compact and sneaky long finish that is also very well-balanced. Note: from a 1.37 ha parcel of 60+ year old vines situated close to the Château

80% whole bunch vinification with 15 new barrels out of 22 and a Clayver. A deepish central core with lighter rim. Like the Grands Echezeaux, the nose begins in backward fashion, and does not show the whole bunch so much. There is a wonderful mouthful of dark fruit though, black cherry, dark raspberry, a little bit of pepper, this is fuller bodied without losing sensuality. Drink from 2033-2043. Tasted Nov 2024.
