Tasting notes
Unwinding in the glass with a complex bouquet of peonies, wild berries, rose petals, orange rind, exotic spices and sweet soil tones, the 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with huge concentrated, beautifully ripe tannins and lively balancing acids. Powerful and resonant, this vintage stands out for its sheer plenitude and structural finesse; and while it will reward patience, I suspect that it will never truly shut down, something that's rare for this benchmark rendition of the Clos Vougeot.

Cask sample. Paler crimson than the supposedly lesser wines from this address. Heady and more immediately appealing than them too. Really snazzy and gorgeous with breadth, sweetness and a suggestion of dunked digestive biscuits. Beautifully polished tannins. And real energy as well as all that sweetness. The fruit almost subsumes all the fine tannin. (JR)
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is tight on the nose but only needs modest aeration to reveal intense blackberry and bilberry fruit, superb mineralité , and faint hints of licorice patiently waiting in the wings. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity and a persistent saline finish. Excellent.
