Gerard Raphet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 France Cinsault - Grenache situated north of CastillonModerate wood influence still allows the distinctly earthy and fresh red currant and raspberry scanted nose to be appreciated.

This is really quite good and should amply reward extended keeping. 93 Pts Burghound
