With its firm tannins and powerful fruit, the style of Clos de Vougeot is well expressed. It has weight, and it is loaded with juicy black fruits and acidity. With its dense texture, it’s a wine for the long haul.

This is a closed, smoke-filled wine, and its tannins and toasty wood character currently dominate, which gives it a bitter edge. It has richness, with hints of juicy fruit that sit under the structure. Give it at least six years.

Firm and powerful, this tannic wine has dense black-fruit flavors, with enough fruitiness to balance the structure. The finish shows a smoky character, a bitter cherry flavor and bright acidity.

This full-bodied wine demonstrates the jammy side of Volnay. It is rich and dense, and it has a delicious berry flavor. In the process of all this generosity, the tannins are lost, so drink it over the next few years.

A dry wine with firm tannins over the juicy red-cherry fruits. It is structured, while likely to develop well over the next few years. The wood and fruit are both attractive at this stage.

From Tramier’s own vineyards, this is a soft, fleshy wine with a light touch. The tannins are already gentle and the red berry fruits are highlighted by crisp acidity. For short-term aging only.
