Jean-Marc Millot, Clos Vougeot Grand Maupertui other_regions_italy there is markedly more volume

there is markedly more volume and power to the large-scaled if less refined flavors that possess much better mid-palate density before terminating in an impressively lengthy finish

Herbal and juicy with structure and balance

this wine is a monument to what Champagne's grower revolution has achieved over the last 30 or so years

from a plot on very poor soils that has very balanced vines that usually give the more complex and deeper wine from the winery

Moderately firm reduction overshadows the underlying fruit today

Jean-Marc Millot, Clos Vougeot Grand Maupertui other_regions_italy there is markedly more volume(from a . 38 ha parcel). This too is completely reduced and unreadable in its present condition. Otherwise the fresh, bright and intense medium weight flavors also possess a really lovely texture along with fine definition on the markedly austere and equally firm finale. I very much like the persistence and once the nose cleans up, this should amply repay extended cellaring.
