2008 Mongeard-Mugneret Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru

Another exceptional Grand Cru from Mongeard Mugneret.
Semi translucent, dark crimson red colour, with dark crimson mauve hue. The nose displays fabulous aromatics and excellent intensity with perfumed scents of violets and dark cherry as top notes followed by some dark strawberry, with a meaty, game like overtone and some cedar as an end note. Light to medium weight the palate delivers plenty of richness, but in a refined graceful manner. Magnificent power wave with flavours of dark cherries and strawberries, along with some gamey characters and some spicy cedar on the back palate. Soft, supple mouthfeel and silky, smooth tannins. Very long aftertaste of dark cherry, spice and gamey cedar.
