Clos de Vougeot 2003 Jadot

Avis professionnels

Super-spicy blackberries and black cherries make up the aromatic profile of the 2003 Clos Vougeot. While Jadot’s parcel in this grand cru is sometimes derided for its location (reaching down to the wall by the N74), in 2002 and 2003 – two vintages where water-retaining soils were advantageous – the results have been glorious. Its dense, pure personality is medium to full-bodied, chewy-textured, crammed with dark cherries, and immensely concentrated. This awesomely deep, muscular, and persistent wine is masculine and displays exceptional ripeness.

Chocolate anyone? That's the main flavor, with accents of black cherry, plum and cassis. It's firm, but there's a sweetness and intensity that balances the tannins. Fine, cassis-filled finish.
