Domaine d'Eugenie Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2022
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a magnificent expression of one of Burgundy's most historic Grand Cru vineyards, crafted with the precision and elegance that have made Domaine d'Eugénie one of the Côte de Nuits' benchmark producers. Sourced from the estate's exceptional parcels within the famed walled vineyard of Clos de Vougeot, the outstanding 2022 vintage offers captivating aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, rose petals, violets, Asian spice, forest floor, and subtle oak, layered over a distinctive limestone-driven minerality. The palate is powerful yet remarkably refined, combining concentrated red and dark fruit with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional balance, culminating in a long, complex finish. Built for decades of graceful aging, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a profound wine that beautifully captures both the grandeur of the vineyard and the finesse of Domaine d'Eugénie's meticulous winemaking.
"The 2022 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is terrific, offering up aromas of cherries, dark berries, orange zest, spices and rose petals, followed by a full-bodied, layered and multidimensional palate that's rich and textural, its deep core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It will be hard to choose between this and the Grands-Echézeaux this year." Wine Advocate 93-95
