Tasting note
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.
Score: 97+
