2018 Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 94

Aromas of wild berries, spices, peonies, dark chocolate and subtle hints of grilled meats introduce the 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, a full-bodied, deep and broad-shouldered wine that’s deep, concentrated and reserved. It had a late malolactic, making this one of the more backward cuvees in the cellar. There are fully 14 barrels this year, equating to a yield of around 45 hectoliters per hectare from the domaine’s 0.69-hectare parcel. [31/12/2019]
