Domaine Henri Rebourseau : Clos de Vougeot Grand cru 2020

Possesses a lovely, dark cassis fruit, with a smoky, mineral edge and very firm tannins that lead to a lingering finish. Among the best wines in the cellar here. Rebourseau has a spectacular 2.21ha parcel in the centre of the Clos, mostly in the Quartier de Marei Bas, south from the old vines of Château de la Tour. The wine in 2020 was much more precious than even 2019, but yields were limited. It was picked from the 24th August and mostly destemmed.

This is the most accomplished cru of the estate in this vintage. The vines in the center of the clos have delivered that violet and mauve-flower aroma that is the hallmark of the great Clos de Vougeot. A subtle, racy finish of great elegance.
