Clos-Vouget Grand Cru, 2018

The only Clos de Vougeot made inside the vineyard's own walls - a deep, spicy, grippy grand cru red, not a light one.

A grand cru red from the Clos de Vougeot, made in the only winery that still sits inside the vineyard's ancient walls. The Labet family's 2018 is deep and concentrated rather than light, with clove, forest floor and a hint of peony, fine powdery tannins and a chalky grip at the end. Still young and holding back, it comes from a hot, generous year and vines over 50 years old.
