(JG91-93 points) The Tortochots’ parcel in Clos Vougeot is there oldest vines, as these are over seventy years of age. The wine is really a lovely example of this grand cru, with a sense of old vine sappiness in the core that carries the wood very well indeed. The bouquet offers up scents of red plums, black cherries, cocoa, a lovely base of soil, gamebirds, woodsmoke and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and nicely balanced, with a good core, ripe tannins and a very long, soil-driven and nascently complex finish. This will be lovely with some bottle age.
