On the palate it has berry fruit character and the sweetness is balanced by excellent acidity

Nicole Lamarche, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 Big Basin Neal Martin Vinous (94)Nicole has three parcels within this grand cru, one in the northwest corner (where everyone wants to be) tucked up next to Musigny. In 2019 she vinified all three separately, which helps add complexity and layers to the finished wine. This is spicy and deep, with some sinewy muscle flexing underneath the berry fruit and savoury tannins. An outstanding Clos de Vougeot, so long and refined, but with some power beneath.
