Caroline Parent Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 (750ml) *

Grand Cru bottlings from the Côte de Nuits are among Burgundy's most closely watched reds, and this 2021 from Caroline Parent comes off the walled Clos de Vougeot, one of the region's larger Grand Cru holdings. As with Pinot Noir across the Côte, the appeal here lies in perfume and finesse rather than sheer weight, a red built on structure and lift that tends to reward patience in the cellar.
