violet and a lovely array of spice elements

showing tons of intensity

My observation is that this 2011 vintage feels more overtly ripe

Silky and lifted in the glass

(from 90+ year old vines that are worked by horse)

Alain Hudelot Noellat, Vougeot Petits Vougeots other_regions violet and a lovely array(from a . 52 ha parcel). A slightly cooler nose exhibits a fruit profile that derives more from the red side of the spectrum, and in particular cherry and pomegranate, though there are wisps of black raspberry, spice, lavender and rose petal in evidence. The sleek, elegant and refined medium weight flavors flash good minerality before concluding in a balanced, complex and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and the supporting tannins are quite fine
