The 1991 Clos de Vougeot displays a sumptuous quality to its rich, expansive, sweet, jammy fruit. It exhibits a deep, saturated, dark ruby/purple color, and a magnificent, yet unformed nose of red and black fruits, vanillin, and spices. Large-scaled and muscular, with superb extraction of fruit and a long finish, it is soft enough to drink now, but it will improve over the next 5-6 years and last for 12-15. One of my favorite producers, Mongeard-Mugneret has rebounded strongly in 1991 with far superior wines than those he made in 1989 and 1990. Why? Not only did nature keep yields under 30 hectoliters per hectare (less than 2 tons per acre), but in 1991 Mongeard's son persuaded his father to return to the traditional method of bottling, meaning, no fining or filtration. The results are wines with more expansive, rich mid-palates and that enticing, seductive, sweet burgundy perfume that has not been obliterated by excessive fining or filtration.
