Tasting notes for the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 - Philippe Pacalet

• EYE: When the gaze falls upon this Clos de Vougeot, it is immediately drawn to its captivating deep red hue. A dense and concentrated ruby tint that speaks to the quality of this Burgundian grand cru. The impeccable clarity of the liquid in the glass reveals meticulous winemaking, with delicate purple reflections on the periphery suggesting a vibrant youthfulness.
• NOSE: Upon olfactory analysis, this wine unfolds quite the rich and complex bouquet. Dominant aromas of black cherry and blackberry, among other red and black fruits, mingle with subtle notes of spices and flowers. Integrated scents of vanilla and wood from aging add an extra dimension. Undertones of undergrowth and leather complete this depth-rich aromatic palette.
• MOUTH: During the tasting, the grand cru impresses with the harmony of its flavors. Its tannins, both robust and delicate, provide a solid foundation, while a lively acidity ensures a well-measured freshness. The diversity of flavors, from concentrated red fruits to subtle hints of cocoa and pepper, creates a memorable gustatory experience. The persistent finish elegantly underscores the finesse and mastery of the inherent power of this vintage.

In short: Philippe Pacalet's Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 has an estimated aging potential of 12 to 18 years. To accompany this exceptional wine, we suggest pairings such as grilled pork chops with rosemary, roasted veal with wild mushrooms, or truffle risotto. Its blend of power and elegance makes it an indispensable choice for connoisseurs seeking red wines that are both complex and solidly structured.
