Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Domaine Faiveley

Millésime 2018 “A big wine. Broad and punchy. Tannic structure. Power. Very compact and burly. Vigorous finish.” Drink 2028 – 2040. By Sarah Marsh.

Millésime 2018 “The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is performing very well, wafting from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, wild berries, incense, rich soil tones and woodsmoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and broad-shouldered, with a deep and layered core, rich structuring tannins and ripe but succulent acids. Long and sapid, this is another excellent Clos Vougeot from Faiveley, and this cuvée seems to go from strength to strength every year.” by William Kelley.

Millésime 2018 “Here the aromatic profile is completely different with its relatively elegant and high-toned nose that consists of red cherry, raspberry, soft earth and humus scents that are trimmed in subtle wood nuances. The sleek, round and seductive medium-bodied flavors possess lovely mid-palate density and richness, all wrapped in a very firmly structured, dusty and balanced finale that flashes the characteristic youthful austerity.”

Millésime 2018. Barrel sample. “Mid cherry red. Strong vanilla note on the nose, and very sweet red fruits. Firm, chewy, full of fruit but more rustic than the Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux just tasted. Then a bit abrupt and dry on the finish. Not yet meshed. Drink 2025 – 2033.”
