ダニエル・ショパン=グロフィエのクロ・ヴージョを譲り受けてから造った最初の年のワインです。樹齢60年以上と言われる古木から成る畑で、グロフィエ所有の最高の畑です。ほんのちょっとだけ、かっさらってきました..。ん?どこからって...。内緒!
ちなみに昔のPKさんのブルゴーニュは、クロ・ド・ヴージョの主要生産者ランキングで、最高位の「傑出」(Outstanding)の筆頭です。(ABC順だけど!)
Five barrels of a medium to dark ruby-colored
1997 Clos Vougeot was produced. Three were
aged in new oak, two in first year wood.
It reveals a fresh, vibrant, red cherry,
Asian spice-scented nose, as well as an explosive,
medium to full-bodied personality. This expressive,
chewy, mouth-coating wine is jam-packed with
candied blackberries, licorice, spices, and
toasty oak. As with a number of 1997s from
the famed Clos Vougeot vineyard, this wine
verges on being over-ripe. It is opulent,
hedonistic, and quite sensual. Drink it over
the next 8 years.90POINTS
