Tasting notes
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very perfumed sensual bouquet with pure red berry fruit, roses and light sous-bois scents that unfold temptingly with aeration. The palate has lighter tannins but feels fresh and tensile. There is some reduction, especially on the blood orange-infused finish, though its refreshing quality is to be admired. I suspect this will kick on with continued bottle age. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Really lively and fun. So much fruit and life! No rough edges. This does taste like a (spookily approachable) grand cru. (JR)
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a vibrant nose with dark berry fruit, touches of sea cave/oyster shell. This is nicely focused and intellectual. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine acidity, unapologetically mineral-driven with a saliva-inducing sapid finish. Very classy and sophisticated.
