This is the first year with puncheons (no hogsheads) as well

There is that beguiling sense of underlying tension to the firmly stony and beautifully well-detailed broad-shouldered flavors that deliver superb length on the seamlessly well-balanced finale

de Montille, Clos Vougeot other_regions This is the first year(100% stems). An elegant and ultra pure red pinot fruit nose is liberally laced with warm earth and floral nuances, both of which can be found on the equally pure and almost painfully intense flavors that possess excellent power and pin point detail, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and dramatically long finish. If this can add depth over the next decade or so, it should merit the top of my predicted range. (91 94) 2024+
