2022, Domaine d'Eugénie, CLOS VOUGEOT, Grand Cru, Magnum (1500ml)80% whole bunch vinification with 19 new barrels out of 26. A glowing purple with darker fruit showing along with a little new wood behind. This has power and tension, more tannins than any of its stable mates, a blacker style of fruit, good acidity. The tannins are firm, but this is just so much more backward than anything else in the cellar and will make a very fine CV in time. Drink from 2034 2045. **** 95 98 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy. This

Mid yellow

The super-sleek

Fermentations in open 225l barrels with natural yeasts and manual punch downs

A background hint of wood sets off aromas that include the essence of spiced pear

6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot

it is perhaps how the 1986 tasted in its youth

the terroir on show in the glass

This is also really quite pretty as it has that wonderful quality of inner mouth perfume

Tertre-Rôteboeuf is perhaps a touch lighter than other years

Drink from 2030-2037

The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and modest weight

nicely structured with a touch of sinew on the finish
