CLOS DE VOUGEOT GRAND CRU 2018 JOSEPH DROUHIN

€230.00
Bouteille 75 cl

Since 1880, Joseph DROUHIN has been the fruit of numerous successions from different generations, strengthening its image over the years to now encompass 93 ha in the finest Burgundy climats. Maurice DROUHIN, son of Joseph, was responsible for the famous Clos des Mouches de la Maison. The DROUHIN family, based in Beaune, has made a name for itself not only through its sustainable viticulture practices, but also through its conquest of territory in Oregon, USA.

About

This Clos Vougeot comes from a great vintage, expressive aromatically, with a beautiful balance that gives a lot of emotion when tasted. With age, this wine will evoke aromas of undergrowth, truffle and candied fruit.  

Your questions, our answers.

Should I open this 2018 Clos de Vougeot now or let it develop in the cellar?
The choice depends on the aromatic profile you are looking for: the description highlights the vintage’s expressiveness, while aging should bring notes of forest floor, truffle, and candied fruit. No specific aging period is given to help determine when to open it.

Is this wine suitable if I’m looking mainly for balance rather than a display of power?
Balance is explicitly highlighted as one of its qualities, along with its aromatic expression. However, the description does not specify the wine’s power or tannin texture, so you can choose it for its balance without making assumptions about its intensity on the palate.

What occasion would be a good fit for this bottle?
An attentive tasting among wine enthusiasts seems well suited to appreciating the aromatic expression and balance described. It may be of particular interest to those who enjoy following a wine’s development toward notes of forest floor and truffle.

What can help me choose this 2018 rather than the 2021 Clos Vougeot from Vougeraie?
For the 2018 Joseph Drouhin, the information provided includes a vintage described as great, fine aromatic expression, and a noted sense of balance. Without tasting notes for Vougeraie’s 2021, it is not possible to say which would be more developed, more powerful, or more approachable.

Is a Parker score of 93 enough to tell whether I’ll like this wine?
This score is a useful critical reference, but no accompanying commentary is provided to explain the reasons behind it. To choose according to your tastes, the most useful indications are its aromatic expression, balance, and anticipated development toward notes of forest floor, truffle, and candied fruit.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
