Wine Critic Reviews
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a dense, earthy bouquet that feels broodier than its peers at the moment, although there seems to be good fruit in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, more foursquare and conservative than others this year, though with decent depth and an understated, quite elegant earthy finish. Not quite matching its performance from barrel, nevertheless, a respectable Clos de Vougeot to enjoy over the next 10 years. Tasted September 2016.

Bright red. Smoky, reduced nose is currently hiding its fruit. Juicy but a bit dry on the palate, showing edgy flavors of minerals, spices and savory herbs, with primary fruit in the deep background. A red cherry element emerged with aeration but I wanted more freshness and sweetness.
