Gerard Raphet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes, Cote de Nuits, France 2020 Ribeira Sacra fleshy and vibrant fruit impactFresh, ripe and beautifully layered aromas of dark berries are laced with ample amounts of newly turned earth and that pungent forest floor character. The old vines are very much in evidence on the wonderfully textured broad shouldered flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract while terminating in a dense, powerful and very serious finale.
