Domaine de Montille Clos Vougeot 2008

The Domaine de Montille Clos Vougeot 2008 is showing fine intensity and concentration for the vintage. It’s starting to reveal some maturing notes – sous-bois and some earthy minerality accompanying red and dark fruit. Very finely balanced with refined notes of youthful yet maturing fruit. Not yet fully open energy-wise; still, drinking well at the moment.

(Drink from 2025) – Fine (93p) – 05/02/2020

  Louis Vallet is like his wines – vivacious – but with more control and delicacy than one would expect. He is both a serious and a talented winemaker.

  Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini. Yes, Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini. It is a long and difficult name, and probably not the greatest marketing asset given to Florence and Simon Mazzini. But names tell a story, give some history, and are therefore important in how we present ourselves to the world. Sometimes the names are unpronounceable and even unspellable, but in the ...

The demand for Domaine Garcia wines is exploding, and my expectation is that prices ...
