  Dégustation dans les vieilles caves de Joseph Drouhin (Beaune) (Beaune): 40% vendange entière.
  Beau nez de fruit rouge. Bouche élégante, bien équilibrée, un fruité pur, très frais et fin. Beau grain de tanins. Très bon. 92-93 pts

  This had been open for some time, but was already very expressive and quite elegant for a Clos Vougeot. A vivid nose of red fruit, violets, floral notes and light spice leads to a sweet, layered and silky mouthfeel. The ripe fruit is balanced by decent freshness, gracefully unfolding towards the smooth and powdery finish. Matched beautifully with a Filet Mignon cooked rare and asparagus.

  2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy): Medium expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe red fruit, strawberry, cherry, rose, sap and mineral. Very good concentration, nicely layered sweet red fruit, silky and refined, medium acidity, strong mineral, fine tannins and a long sweet red fruit driven finish. This is drinking well.

  UGHHHH- notes on 7th and 8th wine might be switched so not rating either. Pisses me off as one of these I want to buy a case of. Damnit!! oh well providing the notes on the 2017 Corton and 2018 Vougeot both GC.
  
  Eight wines at the estate, 5th red, last wine of the flight. Dark red fruit, good acidity and tannins, nice minerality, spicy - awesome wine. Buy a case. While I usually prefer the Corton, I think this is the Vougeot.
  
  Eight wines at the estate, 4th red, seventh wine. Great nose, thinner than others, good minerality, very well balanced. Wish I tasted this in another vintage or with more time on this one.

  they own 2.2 acres located in the center. Lovely and beautiful nose. They are right next to latour apparently. 30% new oak, 30% whole cluster. Maybe a lack of silliness notes laurent but a good expression of clos vougeot. He notes maybe a touch of a lack of elegance. But his wife loves it.
