Saturday, August 17, 2019 - Saturday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is lovely and expressive with red cherries, strawberries, fresh picked berries, violets, herbs, roses, earth tones, tobacco, and root vegetables. There is excellent depth and an open-knit style that is very attractive even at this youthful stage.

Taste: The feel is Medium bodied with crisp, medium+ acidity and youthful, medium+ tannins. The structure is certainly youthful but underneath lies a silky feel with tones of red cherries, strawberries, violets, roses, earth tones, and some tobacco.

Overall: This is a lovely, if young, Clos Rougeard. This was fairly open and giving with an attractive red-fruited base and a touch of savoriness to add in some intrigue and depth. This could still benefit from another 5+ years to hit that next level that it is capable of.
