Domaine Robert Arnoux, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, 1996
This is mature Grand Cru Burgundy from a Vosne-Romanee legend at the height of a celebrated vintage. Clos de Vougeot is the great walled Grand Cru of the Cote de Nuits, a 50-hectare patchwork shared by many growers, and Robert Arnoux farmed a parcel here for Pinot Noir of real depth. The 1996 vintage is famous for its firm structure and bracing acidity, which is exactly what has carried wines like this into graceful old age. At nearly three decades old this is fully resolved and fragile, so handle the bottle gently, decant off any sediment, and drink it soon. A collector's bottle for a special table.
