Domaine Michel Gros, Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru 2012

“The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which comes from the top of the clos and sees 50% new oak, has a very pure, quite floral bouquet with hints of dried rose petal infusing the redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is ripe and sweet on the entry and although the wood is tangible, it is singing from the same hymn sheet as the fruit. With fine delineation and focus, plus impressive length, this is one of Michel’s finest Clos de Vougeot.”-92-94WA
