🏰 The 2018 Laurent Ponsot Clos du Vougeot Cuvée du Cèdre Grand Cru is an excellent and complex wine, praised for its 【concentrated, silken texture and a super line of freshly intense flavor】. From the generally very good 2018 Burgundy vintage, this Grand Cru offers a wide aroma profile, hinting at stone-fruit slowly becoming floral. It presents a well-layered blend of red and blue Pinot fruit, earth, sauvage, and underbrush nuances. While structured, it is remarkably accessible, with a solid, densely fruited mouthful and a good detail on the finish, promising to develop even more character with time. 🍴 This powerful and elegant Grand Cru Burgundy is a magnificent pairing for roasted game, classic beef bourguignon, or dishes featuring truffles. It also complements aged hard cheeses beautifully. 🥂 A superb wine for significant celebrations or a serious tasting, this Clos du Vougeot Grand Cru has excellent aging potential. Decanting for 1-2 hours before serving will allow its intricate layers to fully express themselves.
