Burghound, January 2021

(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...

(90-92 points) Fine medium purple, perhaps a fraction more volatile here. Justine tells me that this is typical of the vineyard. Excellent intensity of energetic light raspberry fruit, then some more tannins behind...

The 2019 Christian Clerget Vougeot Les Petits Vougeot is a Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically from the Cote de Nuits sub-region. This wine is produced by Christian Clerget and is presented in a 750ml bottle with a cork closure. It has an alcohol content of 13.5%.

Jasper Morris, in his review for "Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy" dated November 1, 2020, scored this wine between 90-92 points. He described it as "fine medium purple," noting that it exhibits a "fraction more volatile" character, a trait typical of the vineyard according to Justine. Morris highlighted the wine's "excellent intensity of energetic light raspberry fruit" along with "intense fresh cherries." However, he mentioned that the wine is "sturdier and less graceful than the Chambolles," indicating that while it has robust flavors, it might not possess the same level of refinement as some other wines from the region.

Burghound also reviewed this wine, giving it a score of 92 points in a January 10, 2021 review. The review noted that the wine currently has "firm reduction" that overshadows its fruit profile. Despite this, Burghound praised the wine's "lilting, elegant and wonderfully pure and transparent flavors" which are complemented by "a highly attractive underlying tension" and "subtle minerality." The review also pointed out the "refreshing and mildly austere finale." Burghound concluded that although the wine is "clearly very young," it possesses an appeal that could make it enjoyable even in its youth, provided the reduction issue is resolved before bottling.

Overall, the 2019 Christian Clerget Vougeot Les Petits Vougeot is a wine that promises depth and complexity, with a strong potential for aging. Both reviewers acknowledged its young nature and the need for some further development, but they also highlighted its appealing attributes, suggesting it can be appreciated by those who enjoy a structured and vibrant Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
