Clos de Vougeot, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2005

Tasting Notes

There is virtually no reduction here and the soaring nose offers notes of violets, earth, red and black pinot fruit and a distinct animale component that introduces big, robust and intense flavors that are textured, indeed even chewy but the tannic spine is well integrated on the hugely long finish. There is ample wood in evidence but there is so much concentration that the wine should integrate it successfully with time in bottle.
