James Suckling 95pt

A bold, generous wine that has everything you expect from a Burgundy Grand Cru. The delicate savory notes underline the ripe black-fruit character and the generous tannin structure. Long, sophisticated finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator 96pt

A sleek and silky red, featuring cherry, black currant, floral and mineral flavors. Turns even more austere midpalate through the finish, with terrific intensity and a long, well-delineated aftertaste, which echoes the fruit and mineral notes and picks up sweet spice accents. Shows superb length and finesse.

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.
