🏰 The 1998 Burgundy vintage was a challenging but ultimately rewarding year for reds, particularly in the Côte de Nuits, yielding wines with deep color and ample structure that have softened beautifully with age. This Drouhin Laroze Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 1998 is 【a classic example of a mature Burgundy red, offering pure fruit complexity and a classically fresh character】. While specific tasting notes for this wine are not detailed, 1998 reds are known for their good color, intensity, balanced structure, and well-developed fruit underpinned by harmonious tannins, having shed their youthful astringency.
🍴 Its mature structure and softened tannins make it an excellent partner for roasted lamb, beef bourguignon, game birds, or earthy truffle dishes.
🥂 Ideal for a dinner among Burgundy enthusiasts, a special gathering where a mature red Burgundy is appreciated, or a vertical tasting to explore the evolution of Clos de Vougeot.
BACKGROUND

Representing a range of quality levels, from Grand Cru to "Country". Originating from the Gevrey vineyard acquired by viticulturist Jean-Baptiste Laroze in 1850, the domaine has been passed down through generations of the Laroze family and continued to expand with the marriage of Suzanne Laroze to Alexandre Drouhin in 1919. With 11.5 hectares (28.5 acres) of vineyards spread throughout Burgundy, it is run by the fifth and sixth generations of the family.
