Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

This Grand Cru reveals a candied-like fruitiness, an attractive, medium ruby color, a supple, velvety texture, medium body, and a fruity aftertaste with light tannin. Jean Raphet, who utilizes whole-berry fermentation has made some very successful wines for the vintage. His wines, which were bottled without filtration or Sulphur dioxide, are among the more seductive, round, plump, succulent Pinots of the vintage. They can be drunk young or cellared for 5-8 years. The Raphet Clos Vougeot's have received ratings of between 86 and 91 from Parker over the last few years. (Subject to availability) CVR97 CVR97 From Prime Wines...
