Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has an earthy and foursquare nose similar to that of Thibault Liger-Belair's own Clos Vougeot, quite earthy in style and missing some brightness. The palate is medium-bodied with light and supple tannin, the acidity well judged and there is some degree of elegance on the finish that does not quite deliver grand cru quality. Tasted September 2016.
