Gerard Raphet, Clos Vougeot Vv other_regions Here the slightly less elegant(from a tiny . 20 ha parcel of 100+ year old vines). This is the first wine to display any appreciable wood influence and even here its not intrusive and easily allows the ripe but fresh nose of red and dark currant, floral and newly turned earth scents to shine. There is excellent richness to the full bodied flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm tannic spine on the balanced and persistent finish.
