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

  Ohh no, not Phenolic ripeness again… Yes, phenolics again… and given the current situation in the vineyards, there is a big risk of not achieving sufficient phenolic ripeness in 2026.
