Grivot Clos de Vougeot - 2009 (750ml) Vallée de la Marne In summaryThe 2009 Clos de Vougeot is a serious, intense wine laced with dark red fruit, smoke, tobacco and licorice. There is an exotic raciness here that is beautiful to behold as the wine literally explodes on the palate with a never ending array of flavors, aromas and textures. All of the elements flow together gracefully towards the rich, palate staining finish. This is simply dazzling. The Clos de Vougeot carries its 75% new oak with notable grace.
