2019 Domaine Christian Clerget Vosne Romanee les Violettes

From 0.50 hecatre parcel planted in 1946; Les Violettes abuts Clos de Vougeot. This too is sufficiently reduced to blur the underlying fruit though a whiff of wood does peek through. Otherwise there is good energy to the sleekly textured middle weight flavors that aren't quite as well detailed though more seductive, all wrapped in a sneaky long finish. This is a lovely combination of finesse with punch and also worth your interest. 89-91 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound.
