Score 85/100 · Drink 2014, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Apr 2014

Pierre Rovani waxed lyrical about the 1978 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, but we will have to agree to disagree. It has a simple nose that lacks the fruite of the 1985. The palate is marked by light tannins, the fruit marked by a metallic edge that is rather off-putting. I would have expected more from such a propitious vintage and I would drink any bottles sooner rather than later (unless you are Pierre Rovani.) Drink now. In February, Pierre-Antoine Rovani and Bernard Repolt trekked over to London to present a range of both recent and older vintages for their UK importer, Averys. If anyone needed convincing that Remoissenet can truly deliver at the top level, then one needs go no further than the stupendous Charmes-Chambertin 2011 that is among the best I have encountered with respect to that vintage. Perhaps with such a large portfolio of crus, gems likes these can get lost in the flurry of reviews, but they can only serve to enhance their reputation among Burgundy cognoscenti.

The 1978 Clos de Vougeot boasts striking depth and power for a wine of its age. Savory herbs, spices and dried roses form a gorgeous, polished fabric of total class. The 1978 promises to drink well for the better part of the next decade, but it is fabulous today. Tasted November 2012.
