Clos de Vougeot 2017 Gérard Raphet

Avis professionnels

Burghound (90)

Reduction and soft wood render the nose impossible to assess at present. Otherwise there is a punchy yet caressing mouthfeel to the lighter weight (though not dilute) flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and mildly tangy but not short finish. This is not without interest though the balance isn't quite correctly dialed in.

erard Raphet has one big plot at the bottom of the northern end, and a small plot at the southern end. Attractive even purple colour, some density. This is in the usual somewhat ungiving Raphet style, the detail comes later. Does not seem to have immense density at the front of the palate but there is quite a bit more at the back, very much red fruit style.
