justerini & brooks tasting note

As much as this offers typical Clos de Vougeot breadth and gravitas, this is most striking for its edge and snap. Alive with juicy, fresh bramble, loganberry, tayberry and herb character with earthier undergrowth notes below. Lively and driven all the way through the long finish. A parcel planted in 1986 that comprises a 150 metre long row of vines that passes over a range of soil types, more clay in the lower part and rockier limestone in the higher part. Aged in 20% new oak.

critic reviews

93-95/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru had just a very tiny reduction on the nose (the wine had not been racked, so expected), though there is plenty of fruit here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine weight, slightly granular in texture with good concentration and structure towards the persistent finish. This has pedigree.
