James Suckling 96pt

Clos Vougeot can be a disappointing grand cru, but this shows how magnificent it can be. Wonderful Amarena cherry and summer flower aromas plus very fine tannins, which gives it a very suave personality. Restrained acidity in the 2022 context, but the finish is fresh and so very elegant. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator 95pt

Rich and dense, this red features black cherry, blackberry, black pepper, iron and oak spice flavors. Turns even firmer as this evolves on the palate before tightening up on the gripping finish. A powerful '22, this will need some time to unlock the buried fruit and complementing elements.

Description

Starting in the XIIth century the Cistercian monks of Citeaux, owners of Clos Vougeot, cultivated vines here. They built the winery with four oak presses and a large cellar with capacity for 2000 barrels of wine. In the XVth century the "grand manoir" was built in the middle of the Clos and in the XIXth century all the buildings were restored by Leonce Bocquet. Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru in Burgundy with 52 hectares of vines and over 80 different owners. The Clos itself is subdivided into many different plots.
