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.

- Domaine Roulot – Tasting the 2021s; Forward to the Past!The 2021 vintage in many ways comes from an annus horribilis, especially if you are located in Côte de Beaune and make white wine.
