The 2008 Mugneret Clos Vougeot, which I had a chance to savor over several hours with dinner that evening, is a great wine in the making. The magical bouquet soars from the glass in a blaze of cherries, red plums, blood orange, incipient notes of gamebird, a touch of cocoa, fresh herb tones, a very complex base of soil and a fine framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and suavely tannic, with a sappy core of fruit, tangy acids, brilliant focus and balance and a very, very long, very soil-driven finish. This is a Clos Vougeot with the breed and elegance of Musigny in this vintage. (Drink between 2018-2050) (95+)
