Rich and gamey nose, of the kind that gets real Burgundy freaks very excited. Iron, smoke and earth in its soul. With aeration it develops wonderful, super-ripe sour-cherry fruit. Then comes the massive structure of the...

The Drouhins' parcel is located behind the château in the Clos de Vougeot and has produced a firm, rich, powerful wine in 2018 with plenty of colour, flavour and extract. Aged in 80% new oak, it has impressive perfume...

Rich and gamey nose, of the kind that gets real Burgundy freaks very excited. Iron, smoke and earth in its soul. With aeration it develops wonderful, super-ripe sour-cherry fruit. Then comes the massive structure of the...

A pungent nose of reduction and subtle wood makes clear that it is clear need of a thorough aeration if you're going to open a bottle young in the interest of 'science'. The succulent but solidly punchy medium weight plus...

(92-95 points) No stems. A significant, dense purple black colour. Lush raspberry and sun-dried cherries, the signature of the vintage. Sturdy and weighty, the tannic structure offers some relief which will help this wine...

This is full of pure black cherry and blackberry flavors, polished and packaged in toasty, spicy oak. Vibrant, firming up on the mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2022 through 2035. 278 cases made, 10 cases imported. — BS

Really spicy and decadent with crushed flowers, fruit and some grilled-meat undertones. It’s full-bodied with tight, tensioned tannins that nicely frame the fruit. Reserved yet complex flavors. A thoroughly beautiful...

The 2011 Jadot Clos Vougeot is absolutely stellar. The very deep and vibrant nose wafts from the glass in a blaze of red and black cherries, venison, espresso, bonfires, beautifully complex minerality, herb tones and a...

(90-92 points) Firm reduction dominates the fruit at present. The lilting, elegant and wonderfully pure and transparent flavors possess a highly attractive underlying tension as well as a subtle minerality on the...

(91-94 points) (Note: from vines next to the wall by Grands Echézeaux) Here too there is mild reduction that does not completely hide the subtle aromas of red berry fruit, crushed herbs, earth and a hint of the sauvage...

(90-92 points) As is often the case chez Clerget, this is the most elegant wine in the range with its ripe but cool, fresh and airy array of various red berries and in particular cherry and pomegranate that are cut with...

(90-92 points) Clerget noted that this didn't finish its malo until September and had not been racked so not surprisingly it was firmly reduced. Otherwise there is good freshness and vibrancy to the punchy middle weight...

Fine bright and deepish purple. Very little nose to start with. Then a fine body of plump fruit on the plate, more weight and density than the village wines, the finish holds up nicely and good length. A little bit of...

Though this red is oaky, there's also a whole-cluster feel to it, with sandalwood and vegetal aromas synching with flavors of black currant and blackberry. Iron and sweet baking spices chime in as this plays out on the...

(96-98 points) 50% new wood and 50% whole bunch. This has a really fine elegant bouquet for Clos Vougeot, not the only one this year, but an outstanding example. Builds beautifully on the palate, this has really great...

(93-96 points) 80% new wood. No whole bunches are used as they do not wish to hide the muscular shoulders of Clos Vougeot. Intense purple. There is a huge volume of fruit but with excellent tension behind, a good fruit...

Rose, cherry and spice aromas introduce this light-bodied, saturated version. The flavors add wild strawberry, incense and kirsch notes, while remaining persistent on the kaleidoscopic finish. Feels tense now, yet should...
