Several tasting steps are necessary to appreciate the quality of an excellent Clos de Vougeot wine. First of all, you have to look at the wine. The wine will be appreciated according to its clarity, its liveliness and its perlage. The smell of wine is the second stage of tasting. Finally, comes the work in the mouth. The taste of wine breaks down into three stages: the first impact, the sensation in the mouth and the final in the mouth.
