The Clos Vougeot is one of Hudelot's best three wines in 1987. It has a deep ruby color, excellent ripeness, a muscular, medium- to full-bodied, tannic structure, and plenty of length; it should drink nicely between 1990-1998. Alain Hudelot is a serious winemaker, but he falls victim to the practice of filtering his wines too vigorously at the time of bottling. He has made very good 1987s, but one suspects these scores would be from 2 to 5 points higher had there not been such a traumatic filtration.
