Super-spicy blackberries and black cherries make up the aromatic profile of the 2003 Clos Vougeot. While Jadot's parcel in this grand cru is sometimes derided for its location (reaching down to the wall by the N74) in 2002 and 2003 "two vintages where water-retaining soils were advantageous" the results have been glorious. Its dense pure personality is medium to full-bodied chewy-textured crammed with dark cherries and immensely concentrated. This awesomely deep muscular and persistent wine is masculine and displays exceptional ripeness. Projected maturity: 2009-2020.

Chocolate anyone? That's the main flavor with accents of black cherry plum and cassis. It's firm but there's a sweetness and intensity that balances the tannins. Fine cassis-filled finish. Best from 2009 through 2025. 385 cases imported.
