FEATURES
The 1995 vintage in Burgundy produced powerful and concentrated red wines with a firm backbone of ripe tannins, built for aging. Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur, a significant estate in Vosne-Romanée, is known for its impressive portfolio, including Grand Crus like Clos de Vougeot. The domaine has a historical connection to Clos de Vougeot, with their holdings in the lieu-dit 'Musigni' dating back to 1920. The vines for their Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru were replanted sequentially in 1985, 1988, and 1989.
【A Grand Cru known for its charming expression even in youth, offering a journey through exceptional terroir.】 Gros Frère et Sœur wines are often full-bodied with notable oak influence, and their Grand Crus are typically aged in 100% new oak, imparting aromatic, concentrated, and dense fruit elements. Expect a raspberry-purple color with great brilliance. The bouquet is complex, with delicate floral notes of old rose, wild blackberry, and raspberry, evolving into autumn notes like cloves, Sichuan pepper, Tonka bean, graphite, slate, and a touch of undergrowth. The palate is enchanting with volume, density, and richness, supported by noble and smooth tannins, leading to a velvety finish.
This 1995 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, with its aging potential, is perfect for a celebratory dinner or a serious tasting session. It's a wine that can be enjoyed now but will continue to evolve. Decanting for an hour or two can help it open up and express its full range of aromas. Serve at cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
Food Pairing: This powerful and concentrated red Burgundy is an excellent match for rich dishes such as beef, veal, and game (deer, venison). Its robust structure can also stand up to flavorful stews and aged cheeses.
