Domaine Gros Frère & Soeur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2020 - Clos de Vougeot

Description

The Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru of the Côte de Nuits, bordered by the villages of Vosne Romanée and Vougeot, is the direct neighbor of the Grands Crus Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux and Musigny. It represents 51 ha and includes 80 owners. The Domaine Gros Frère & Sœur owns a small 75-acre parcel here called Musigni. Its lean, stony soil brings plenty of tension and breed to the wines. The long, new-barrel aging chosen by the Domaine slowly polishes the wines and gives them its precise, delicious character. In this 2020, we find a frank expression of the wines of Côte de Nuits, with its floral notes of violets and spring roses, and black fruits (wild blackberry); when sweet spices (cinnamon), but also pepper and licorice, mark the race and evolution. The palate is voluptuous, enveloping salivating tannins. The finish is fresh, elegant, seductive and slightly mentholated. A very great wine, quite accomplished, which its youth already knows how to accompany a canon of roe deer smoked with vine shoots or braised lamb without forgetting the cheese from the Abbaye de Citeaux.
