Domaine Drouhin-Laroze
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Vougeot, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Lucky enough to try a number of 2013 Drouhin-Laroze GC’s this week. Not the easiest of vintages but resulting wines are drinking very well at the moment. The Vougeot stood apart from the others as an identifiable style, somewhat more robust than the appellations closer to Chambertin.

Profound: the nose, you can keep the glass at waist level & still feel like you are surrounded by flowers. Length, purity- makes me think older reviews of this vintage didnt properly decant or wine simply needed at least 10 yrs.

Had it December 2008.
Cherry and dark cherry too, mushroom, wet leaves, juniper, undergrowth herbs, irony.
Fairly muscled. Tannin slightly bitter. Balanced and ready now... Obviously it won't go off tomorrow 😁. Long, not super elegant, but you can tell has got that champion's(GrandCru) attitude.

Not many are doing Clos Vougeot better now than Drouhin-Laroze. There’s always a ton of variability with this Grand Cru, but D-L’s 1ha parcel is on a prime spot high on the hill that used to be reserved for the pope. This wine is off-the-charts for me in 2016 just like it was in 2015, and it’s going to have an illustrious life ahead of it.
