Domaine Francois Lamarche Clos de Vougeot 2016

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a much better nose than those from Vougeraie and Meo-Camuzet, offering red plum, raspberry preserve, rose petals and hints of sage in the background.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, redcurrant and cranberry fruit, nicely focused with a strict and linear, yet intense finish.
