Red Wine from Vougeot

Burghound, 91 points: There is enough wood to notice surrounding the earthy and brooding dark berry fruit and game suffused aromas. As one might reasonably expect there is markedly better richness and mid-palate concentration to the...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH92-94 points) This isn't quite as spicy as the Ech but it's just as fresh with a brooding and highly complex nose of pungently earthy dark berry fruit and lightly floral-inflected scents. While this is concentrated and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a lifted, licorice-tinged bouquet with plenty of guts to it. There aromatics do not hold back. The palate is...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH92-94 points) Relatively heavy reduction renders the nose unreadable. There is excellent richness, size, weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG91-93 points) The 2012 Clos Vougeot is another huge, explosive wine from Chézeaux in this vintage. Smoke, iron, tar, licorice and dark red fruit notes jump from the glass. Broad- shouldered, rich and intense to the...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) A fresh, cool and perfumed nose of mostly red currant and cherry is liberally laced with notes of earth, underbrush and oak nuances. There is a very forward, even lush palate impression to the bigger...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH92-94 points) This is more expressive than it usually is at this point in its development with a broad-ranging nose of red currant, pungent earth, soft wood spice and hints of underbrush. There is a lovely vibrancy to...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (JG93-94+ points) The 2012 Drouhin Clos de Vougeot has been bottled two week prior to our tasting on the 14th, but was showing beautifully and this is clearly a great vintage for this consistently excellent wine. The...

Burghound, 92 points: This is aromatically brooding and reserved with restrained and distinctly cool aromas of both red and dark currants that are liberally laced with earth, underbrush and subtle spice nuances. There is good concentration, at...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (WA94-96 points) The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru yielded just four barrels this year, one of them new. It has a powerful, almost ravishing bouquet with vibrant, feisty red berry fruit infused with orange rind and...
