This beauty should age extremely well yet be approachable after 7 to 8 years

He has close relationships with his growers and calls the shots when it comes to vineyard management

I also get a hint of sweetness to close that makes a good contrast against that savory element

and that's what ultimately gives this wine its freshness and brightness

more energy and generosity coming through

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Clos Vougeot Size:6x750ml This beauty should age extremelyAll that can be discerned on what seems to be a very ripe nose are notes of reduction and wood. There is excellent volume to the very rich larger scaled flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a suave texture as well as buffers the powerful, complex and impressively long finish where notes of rusticity and austerity slowly emerge. This too is very promising.
