2008 Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru Sylvain Loichet

Sylvain is quite possibly our youngest supplier of Burgundy and a man who shows clear ability at what he does. Blessed with a small parcel at the southern end of the Clos, Sylvain is already demonstrating his considerable talent.

Very tight and concentrated with more purple fruit than red to the fore, this bursts with energy yet is still refined. There is a suave feel to the mid-palate before the concentrated, long finish. Sylvain has made a more stylish Clos de Vougeot than in the past but without losing the positive aspects of its power.
