Frederic Magnien, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2019

Frederic Magnien, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2019This is also ultra earthy with its restrained nose of red and dark currant that display background hints of floral, spice and sandalwood nuances. The supple and quite round middle weight flavors possess good volume and punch though only limited depth on the saline, youthfully austere and solidly persistent finish. I suspect that this will tighten up once it is bottled yet be accessible after 6 to 8 years if desired. (89 92) 2026+

commencing on 23 September – whereas these days it usually begins around 3 September

While clearly firmly structured

Impeccably balanced and harmonious

This is also wonderfully fresh and bright with cool aromas of essence of red cherry

Interestingly this is much more floral than the Champonnets with notes of rose petal

austere and very serious finale

Looks quite mature ruby

the ’09 is excellent nonetheless

the Red Wine is a total stunner

The nose is sweet

The 2006 is like a well-muscled stallion

but they're ripe and silky
