2018 | Domaine Henri Rebourseau | Clos de Vougeot

The 2018 opened slowly to eventually reveal a plummy fruit generously accented with oak. Gradually a smoky note develops that recalls the heat of the year. The weight on the palate is significant and the texture velvety, with surprising freshness for the vintage. The tannins, however, are very firm and a bit astringent, which seem to cut the finish short.

Producer Information

The domaine covers 13.5 hectares in the Côte de Nuits, with exactly 5.28 hectares of that classified as Grand Cru. Theirs is one of the largest holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, and they go back a long way here: Louis’s great-great-grandfather, Henri Rebourseau, created the winegrowers’ syndicate in Chambertin. Louis speaks fondly of his great-great-grandfather’s impact on the domaine from the 1920s to the ’40s: Henri was among the first vignerons of the era to estate-bottle his own wine rather than sell it to négociants. “It was a new idea at the time,” Louis says. “Dealing directly with customers and collectors made the estate very famous.”
