Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2020

(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...

The 2019 Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot is a distinguished Pinot Noir hailing from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically from the Cote de Nuits sub-region and the Clos de Vougeot sub-appellation. This red wine has garnered significant attention and praise from professional reviewers.

Vinous awarded this wine an impressive score of 96 points, noting its vibrant bouquet and purity. The review mentions, "The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was completely destemmed this year. It has a vibrant bouquet of black cherries, raspberry coulis, and freshly picked roses. There is a purity here that I admire." The palate is described as medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and corpulent, yet retaining definition on the finish, leaving a hint of cracked black pepper on the aftertaste. Vinous suggests that "this could turn out to be one of Drouhin-Laroze's best 2019s."

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy also rated the wine highly, giving it a score in the range of 93-96 points. His review highlights the use of 80% new wood and the absence of whole bunches, aiming not to hide the "muscular shoulders" of Clos Vougeot. He describes the wine as having intense purple color and a huge volume of fruit with excellent tension behind it. Morris notes the wine’s good fruit-acid balance, ripe character, and a long, powerful, and oaky finish. He summarizes, "But this stands up tall and should work well."

Both reviewers emphasize the wine's vibrant fruit flavors and structural integrity, noting its potential for development and aging. The 2019 Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot is a robust and elegant Pinot Noir, showcasing the quality and craftsmanship typical of the Burgundy region. With high praise from Vinous and Jasper Morris, this vintage stands out as a noteworthy selection for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
