Lot presentation

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Charlopin-Parizot 1998

The wine

Clos De Vougeot is a powerful and flavoursome cuvée that needs to be aged for a few years. The nose is generous, with aromas of ripe fruit (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and empyreumatic, violet and sweet spicy notes. The palate combines creaminess, power and finesse with fruitiness, a nice hint of tannins and superb length. This wine pairs well with various dishes including braised red meat, game and some types of cheese (Époisses, Langres).
