Clos Vougeot le Grand Maupertui 2005 Anne Gros

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The Anne Gros 2005 Clos Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui offers aromas of plum, blackberry, vanilla, wood smoke, black tea, and tincture of iodine. Charred meat flavors join the purple and black fruits on the palate, and here, too, a toasted, resinous, slightly detached note of new wood is evident. The wine finishes with genuine grand cru length, and has density, girth, and underlying structure that suggest waiting the better part of a decade – which may also bring better integration of the oak – before pulling a cork.

Fragrant and supple, this fleshy red evokes floral, vegetal, sweet berry and spice aromas and flavors. It's seductive, layered and backed by lively acidity and solid tannins. More approachable than its peers, but needs time.
