Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a light nose at first, with dark berry fruit, charcoal and touches of scorched earth. The palate is a delight, showing off very pure fruit—blueberry and raspberry, just ever-so-slightly confit ed in style—with ample freshness toward the very polished and creamy finish. Perhaps crafted in a more modern style, I feel this will age with grace and will ultimately become one of the best from the famous Clos. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Méo's 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is shaping up brilliantly, mingling notes of orange peel, cassis and plums with notions of rose petals, sweet soil tones and exotic spices. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's velvety and concentrated, with real mid-palate amplitude and an elegantly muscular profile. Perfumed and penetrating, this cuvée—from an optimally situated parcel below the château—is a fine long-haul proposition.
(from a huge 3 ha parcel superbly placed high on the slope, across from the Château). Relatively cool and airy aromas feature notes of dark currant, earth and a subtle suggestion of the exotic tea, all of which is trimmed in admirably subtle wood nuances. Like the Murgers, there is a lovely palate impression to the sappy and relatively supple medium-bodied flavors that tighten up on the youthfully austere, balanced and highly persistent finish. This lovely effort is already quite harmonious and showing very well. (91-94)/2034+
