2019 Henri Rebourseau Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Vielles Vignes

The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru comes from vines planted in 1927, 1970 and 1990. The wine shows more red fruit than the regular cuvée, with sous-bois and scents of black truffle. Just a hint of red cherries emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant tannins. Plush, generous and fleshy the Vieilles Vignes has a very pure and silky finish. Just seeking a little more grip. I like this, but I would have added a little more whole bunches, as it was done in the following vintage.
