Clerget, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 - 300cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eA double magnum of Grand Cru red Burgundy is a rare thing, and this one carries real weight behind the format. Domaine Y. Clerget has farmed vines around Volnay and Pommard since the thirteenth century, and Thibaud Clerget, the twenty-eighth generation, revived the estate in 2015 after a spell selling fruit away. His holding in Clos de Vougeot runs to barely a third of a hectare on the Cote de Nuits, and the 2022 sees roughly half whole-bunch fermentation with maturation in around half new oak. The warm, generous 2022 season has given it flesh without tipping into excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is profound and slow to reveal itself, moving through black cherry, dried herbs, a lift of mint and a darker note of liquorice, with the whole-cluster stems adding savoury spice. The palate is structured but supple, medium to full in body, the tannins fine-grained and the grip gentle rather than forceful. Black fruit, loam, white pepper and bay leaf carry through a long, quietly insistent close. This is a wine that rewards the cellar, and in this large format it will move even more slowly, holding its fruit for a decade or more. Pull the cork for a milestone worth gathering people around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16 to 18C in large Burgundy bowls.
