2008 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux
Pascal has a large and well placed parcel in this the most famous of vineyards.A muscular and concentrated effort, with peppery tannin and mouth-coating texture, this is one of the more serious 2008s we tasted.With toasty new oak and a core of spicy bramble fruit, it will need bottle-age to show its full potential.
