Amiot Servelle, Clos Vougeot Brut Zero

Amiot Servelle, Clos Vougeot Brut Zero(from a parcel of vines planted in 1946 located by the Vosne wall in the middle of the slope). A completely different aromatic profile as this is sauvage, earthy and intense with ripe and almost entirely black fruit aromas nuanced with mocha and coffee notes followed by powerful, thick and muscular flavors that deliver the hallmark austerity on the long finish. This is a big if not especially elegant wine that will most please those who enjoy robust,

Here there is a menthol note sitting atop the slightly riper yet cool aromas of cassis

and easily has another decade of prime drinking

This is firmly structured and very classy – in sum

round and seductively textured flavors that possess good punch and persistence along with fine depth on the mouth coating and very well-balanced finale

Here too there is just a background hint of wood that does not intrude upon the wonderfully refined aromas that are airy

This is a ripe

yellow apple

Fine quality here with intense crushed black fruits and sexy
