There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral-inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish

blackberry pie and prunes with hints of cardamom

with strong acidity framing and intensifying the flavors of dark fruits and licorice

plenty of patience will be required

as is usually the case

Henri Boillot, Clos Vougeot other_regions_italy There is a wonderfully refined(from a ~. 34 ha parcel in Grand Maupertuis). This plays right on the edge of volatile acidity with its nose of poached plum, black raspberry and warm earth. The middle weight flavors are not especially dense but do possess a highly attractive mouthfeel while displaying good power on the bitter cherry pit inflected finish. This moderately firm effort is somewhat awkward at present, but I suspect that it will recover with age.
