justerini & brooks tasting note

One of the more high detail and elegant Clos de Vougeots; all grace and ease initially, but power and strength accelerates through the mid palate before refocusing into a beautifully extended, refined finish. Sensual and velvety with a firm grip to the fresh plum, raspberry and damson flavours, this is a Clos de Vougeot of luminosity, balance and measured power. A blend of three parcels within the Clos de Vougeot, one from the bottom part of the vineyard, one from the middle on the Vosne side and one higher up close to the Château.

critic reviews

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru does not deliver quite as much intensity and cohesion as the Echézeaux, offering leafy red berry fruit on the nose, which is quite muted at the moment and needs more presence. The palate has a little more chutzpah, displaying better grip than anticipated and a tightly wound, lightly spiced finish. It doesn’t quite make a statement like some other wines from the clos this vintage.
