2020 Domaine d'Eugenie Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

"70% whole bunch vinification and 12 new barrels in 14. Full deep purple. The nose is much sterner than the Grands Echezeaux but the wine may be very nearly as fine. There is a purist, Cistercian element on the palate: this is beautifully constructed though the oak shows at the moment, savoury, with real grip at the back side alongside the happily managed dark fruit. This wine is weighted to the back, whereas the Grands Echezeaux gets you going form the first moment. Very promising- no, more than that, its the real deal. 97-98 points. Jasper Morris M.W.
