Domaine Jean Grivot
Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, 2021
justerini & brooks tasting note
Spicy fruit to the fore here with gripping tannins providing ample architecture for the deep and powerful fruit. Earthy notes and dark fruits vie for attention. Backward and coiled with a sense of power that defies the vintage. Clos de Vougeot of classic scale, vigour and remarkable freshness.
critic reviews
92+/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very perfumed sensual bouquet with pure red berry fruit, roses and light sous-bois scents that unfold temptingly with aeration. The palate has lighter tannins but feels fresh and tensile. There is some reduction, especially on the blood orange-infused finish, though its refreshing quality is to be admired. I suspect this will kick on with continued bottle age. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
