jamessuckling.com, September 2022

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2021

(94-96 points) Fine rich purple, solid nose as is typical, but not overwrought nor over ripe. Punchy on the palate, the menthol is back along with dark cherry and raspberry, the tannins are present but biding their time...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

(93 - 95+ points) The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is a standout this year. Revealing aromas of cassis, dark cherries, incense, rose petals, dark chocolate and spices, it's full-bodied, concentrated...

Wine Spectator, May 2023

A sleek black cherry- and blackberry-infused version, this is tightly coiled and unfurls slowly across the palate. Remains linear and bracing as this ends with mineral and spice notes. Shows superb balance and length...

Vinous, October 2024

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru does not fully have the verve and focus of its peers. It is tertiary and more stemmy in style, yet still appealing. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit, a little chewy and...

The 2020 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a notable wine from Burgundy, France. It earns its place among fine wines with its rich and complex profile. Crafted from organically grown grapes in the esteemed Clos de Vougeot sub-appellation, this wine offers a glimpse into the elegance and depth characteristic of this region.

James Suckling awarded this wine an exceptional score of 97, praising its "rich and gamey nose" and its ability to excite Burgundy enthusiasts with its iron, smoke, and earth undertones. He notes the wine's "massive structure" and compares its palate movement to "a great ocean liner plowing through the waves of the North Atlantic." He suggests it is drinkable now but will reach optimal maturity post-2030.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also holds this wine in high regard, giving it a score range of 93 to 95+. Described as full-bodied with aromas of "cassis, dark cherries, incense, rose petals, dark chocolate, and spices," the wine is noted for its "striking depth and dimension." The review highlights the wine's vibrancy and the patience required to appreciate its full potential.

Wine Spectator awards a score of 95, remarking on its "sleek black cherry- and blackberry-infused" character. The wine is described as "tightly coiled" with a "linear and bracing" finish, offering superb balance and length, and is recommended for consumption between 2026 and 2045.

Offering a more nuanced take, Vinous gives the wine a score of 92, noting it lacks the "verve and focus of its peers" but remains appealing with its "tertiary and more stemmy" style. The palate is described as medium-bodied with "sappy red fruit" and a "rustic" finish.

In summary, the 2020 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a wine of significant complexity and aging potential, best appreciated by those with a palate for structured and layered wines.
