Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2014 (75cl, 13.5%)

A Pinot Noir from Moillard-Grivot in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, from the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru vineyard. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested, then traditionally vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with cold maceration before fermentation and regular pigeage. The wine is aged for 20 months in oak barrels, 60% new and 40% used once or twice, with oak mainly from the Vosges. It shows a deep red colour with blackcurrant, raspberry and spice aromas, developing complex notes of wax, leather and coffee; a powerful yet elegant and harmonious palate with fine-grained tannins; and a long, seductive finish.
