Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Castagnier has quite a succinct bouquet with black cherry and raspberry fruit, the oak neatly integrated and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy redcurrant and cranberry, black pepper and dried herbs, good depth in the mouth with fine structure toward the finish. I admire the gutsiness of this Clos Vougeot and it should age well. Tasted September 2017. -Neal Martin
