2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin

2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin

Clos Frantin owns 0.63 hectares of the Clos, running from the bottom to the top on the south side of the vineyard. This is yet another example where this vineyard shines - sometimes dismissed in the company of other grands crus. Deep and long.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru offers a mélange of red and black fruit on the nose, touches of tobacco and sous-bois, quite well-defined and showing more terroir expression than the preceeding Malconsorts. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins on the entry, fine structure, good acidity, slightly candied with veins of blood orange and marmalade towards the grippy finish. This should age well in bottle.
