2008 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

Was a good wine, but still a baby. I had a 1967 in 2017. The wine was still singing, not macerated and broken down. Tasting this 2008, I could taste the stuff that would allow this bottle to go 50 years. My advice is to make this one of the last bottles you drink. As we wonder which ones need to be consume due to age or sub-standard corks, don't worry about this one.

Got these bottles from Premier Cru before they went bankrupt and were busted for fraud. Had 2 of the 3 I purchased. Both fake bottles. Nothing like a pomeral,. Reminded me of just cab franc. No merlot.

This wine needed 10+ years to become expressive. Great finishing wine after some super big knuckle draggers.

In a good place. Last one I tried was five years ago. Would suggest 30-60 minutes of air before drinking. Good balanced acidity.

Good bottle. Structure from start to finish. Super smooth and velvety. Don't think it worth the high $$$ though. Thankfully got this on sale 13 years ago.

Really great fruit and structure. Better than the 2008. I can see that the bottle is thicker and cork improved. Wine barely had touched the cork so this can be held long term.

Started a little flat, but got better. Had a good cork in it so this wine can go longer should you choose too hold. Shame 2011 was not a better year in CA.

Very concentrated wine. Reminded me of higher concentration wines like Harlan. Not thin in any way. Wine was good, but not spectacular. I don't think this is worth the high price point.

Though these have a lot of variability Perhaps where they source the fruit. Rutherford mountain? Can we be so sure? There are no rules in CA. Nonetheless, this was juicy and good.
