Vinous also gave high marks, with a score range of 93 to 95 points. The reviewer described the 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru as having a "vibrant nose with dark berry fruit, touches of sea cave/oyster shell." The wine was described as "nicely focused and intellectual," with a "medium-bodied palate, pliant tannins, fine acidity," and an "unapologetically mineral-driven" profile, concluding with a "saliva-inducing sapid finish."

Jasper Morris provided perhaps the highest praise, scoring the wine between 93 and 96 points. The review mentioned that 70% of the crop was achieved, possibly due to helicopter treatment. The wine was described as having a "deeper dense purple" color, with "serious concentration of fruit." The review highlighted "darker fruit, almost a chocolate nose," and "small waves of darker fruit coming through behind," with a "dark plum" character and an "evenly balanced finish between fruit, tannin, and acidity." The suggested drinking window was from 2030 to 2040.

Burghound echoed these sentiments with a score range of 92 to 95 points, describing the wine as having "pretty, airy and cool red berry scents laced with floral and earth nuances." The review noted the "nicely rich, delicious and quite vibrant broad-shouldered flavors" and the "firm, youthfully austere and balanced finish," advising that the wine will "need at least some forbearance as it's quite tightly wound at present."

In summary, the 2021 Domaine Jean Grivot Clos Vougeot Pinot Noir is a highly regarded wine with a complex profile of dark berry fruit, mineral notes, and a balanced structure. It has received excellent reviews and is expected to age well, making it a worthy addition to any wine collection.
