Arnoux Lachaux Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2013

Arnoux Lachaux Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2013An expressive and notably more elegant than usual nose offers up notes of various red berries, floral, earth, spice and game, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent richness, volume and concentrated power to the caressing yet serious medium weight plus flavors that display very fine length on the dusty and youthfully austere finale.

red currant

jammy blackberries and cassis

remarkable equilibrium and noticeable

yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry

but with velvety tannin and stunning purple and black fruits

Hints of dark blue and black fruit
