Stunning. It is rare to taste a Clos de Vougeot that is so slick and svelte; this is rich but not remotely heavy, really sensual, gorgeous flavours of plum, cherry, dark berries, plum liqueur and damson, immense length of flavour; luxurious, but there is composure here too. Impeccably balanced.

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2009 Clos de Vougeot is totally elegant, striking and pure. In 2009 the wine has a level of elegance and pure sexiness that is unbelievably rare for Clos de Vougeot. Sweet red berries meld into flowers, mint, licorice and spices as this refined Burgundy continues to open up in the glass. The intense salinity and energy of the finish is striking. This is another dazzling wine from Arnaud Mortet.
