2023 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

The 2023 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, a blend from foudre and large cask, is a little "gawky" compared to Jadot's other Grand Crus: the fruit is slightly darker but it needs more cohesion and vigor. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with svelte tannins, a silver bead of acidity and a bit more grip coming through on the slightly mealy finish. This is actually not a million miles away from the previous vintage. Drink over the next 15 years.
