One of the top buys for Clos Vougeot with age right now, we are offering a fantastic back vintage, straight from the cellars of Armand Vincenot, in perfect condition (pictured above). Armand Vincenot is an under-the-radar but historically rooted grower based in the Côte de Nuits and has made some great wines over the years, for top holdings like this Clos Vougeot. The 2002 vintage in Burgundy was fairly balanced, showing ripe fruit and structure, making it one of the best red vintages of the early 2000s. Vincenot's Clos Vougeot was produced in a traditional, minimal-intervention style typical of smaller domaines at the time, characterized by fermentation in open-top vats and aging in oak barrels, with 30–50% of the barrels new. This bottle presents a rare opportunity to access Grand Cru terroir at a compelling value, with this bottling of Clos Vougeot showing very well now, exhibiting classic aged Burgundy character: dried cherry, sous-bois, mushroom, and a lingering mineral core. Tannins have softened nicely, offering a graceful and complete experience now, and as it stands, it is the absolute best buy for Clos Vougeot with age!
