Gerard Raphet Clos Vougeot VV Grand Cru 2022
$700
Note: from a tiny .20 ha parcel of 100+ year old vines.
More discreet wood sets off the ultra-fresh nose of various red berries, spice, newly turned earth and a similar hint of humus character. The old vines are in evidence on succulent and tension-filled medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of sappy dry extract that completely buffers the slightly firmer tannins shaping the lingering and firmly austere finale. Patience advised.Drink 2034+. 91-94 Points. Allen Meadows' Burghound.
