(93-96 points) 80% new wood, but entirely destemmed, as Nicolas wants to keep the massive aspect that makes Clos Vougeot a real vin de garde. Dense black colour. Thick texture for the vintage with firm grained tannins...

Such a lovely cassis and framboise nose that you'd need to have a problem with red or dry wine not to fall in love with this. Not one of the biggest 2020s in Burgundy, but the balance and texture of this are so beautiful...

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...

(94-96 points) Rich ripe purple colour, with impeccable integration of fruit and oak on the nose, exceptional purity of dark red fruit, even a floral touch, which is rare in Clos Vougeot. The texture in the mouth between...

A relatively bright and high-toned nose reflects notes of various red berries, in particular cherry and pomegranate, along with hints of earth and lilac. The supple and round, indeed almost soft mid-palate of the middle...

Rich purple, very reductive, though this starts to blow off leaving a lactic oak character behind. Rich concentrated fruit on the palate, dark raspberry and some ripe cherries, a touch stricter at the back (reduction) but...

A lithe, refined red, this features black currant, pomegranate, stone and toasty oak flavors aligned with a lean, intense frame. It's saturated and balanced in its youthful way, with a firm, dense finish. Long aftertaste...

Literally grown in Jean-Claude Boisset's garden, with a painterly view of the Clos de Vougeot, this is always fun to serve in a blind tasting. It's toasty, sappy and reductive, with flinty, struck-match aromas and hints...

(94 - 96 points) An exceptional wine, the 2002 Clos Vougeot (harvested at 14.2% natural potential alcohol) explodes from the glass with aromas of coffee-laced black cherries, spices, and blackberries. Medium to...

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

(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...

(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...
