Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good deep red. Exotic, liqueur-like aromas of red berries and black cherry. Quite rich and powerfully structured. The strong tannins spread out to coat the palate and teeth. I prefer the balance of this wine to that of the '99, but this similarly backward Clos Vougeot is dominated by its structure today. All of this wine, as well as the estate Mazy, was bottled without filtration.

About the producer
Henri Rebourseau
Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, this domaine has a long history and impressive vineyards (with over five hectares of Grand Cru), but has long been considered an under-performer. Today, however, the Bouygues brothers (of Montrose and Clos Rougeard) have taken ownership and change is afoot.
