Drink now through 2025

Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque 2008 reminds me somewhat of the grace of the exceptional 1995

(from Les Gamaires)

with intense black and blue fruit flavors and a touch of candied violet

Jacques Prieur, Clos Vougeot other_regions Drink now through 2025(from a 1. 19 ha parcel of vines at the bottom of the slope; 35% whole clusters). This too is exceptionally ripe with jammy black pinot fruit and warm earth scents that are trimmed in a hint of prune. There is better verve to the large scaled flavors that are not quite as dense as those of the Bressandes but do offer good power on the very firm finish that is again shaped by relatively grippy and inelegant tannins.
