Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2016 Review
One of the most intoxicating experiences without taking a sip involves smelling this wine and just giving in to grapes grown in one of the most revered vineyards for Pinot Noir on the planet. Aromas of savory jerk sauce with a little grilled meat char breathe into earthy balsamic and cherry. The palate is the definition of delicate, with acidity lifting the fruit core like one would a baby — carefully and confidently, as you enjoy the playful elegance of this wine.
