Domaine d’Eugénie 2008 (magnum) – Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

The colour is beginning to take on a garnet tinge. As you approach the nose, you already find aromas like strawberry and fig brandy, which are fragrant and retain their youthful character. When the glass is swirled, the aromas are amplified like perfumes, accompanying a note of cigar and minerality that evokes a piece of limestone. On the palate, this wine is remarkably balanced between fruit, tannins, and freshness. The candied fruit note is not yet withered, the tannins show their presence. The peak is still a long way off. However, its tannins and fruits have come together very well, so it is excellent even today.
