Domaine Faiveley : Clos de Vougeot Grand cru 2016

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru opens in the glass with an attractive bouquet of dark berries, red cherries, smoked meats and rich, loamy soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, succulent but tight-knit, with a nicely concentrated core of sapid fruit, racy acids and fine-grained but youthfully chewy tannins. It's one of the more reserved wines in the range, but it also doesn't appear to possess the plenitude or completeness of Faiveley's most successful cuvées in the 2016 vintage.
