About this Item

2015 Clos de Vougeot
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

In 1880, a 22-year-old Joseph Drouhin settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company. His son Maurice succeeded him and established a domaine for the Drouhin house by buying land in outstanding appellations including the famous Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Today, 4th generation Véronique Drouhin continues the family’s prestigious Burgundy legacy. With 73 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vines, Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s largest estates. With vineyards in close to 90 different appellations, Drouhin offers a fascinating array of Burgundy terroirs.

Critics Ratings

'Deep crimson with purple notes. A bit introvert and animal on the nose at first but with impressive concentration of ripe fruit on the palate. Bright crunchy fruit that’s still embryonic. Unformed for the moment but very ambitious. Hint of banana! Lots packed in there.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5++/20 (Nov 2017)

'The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is superb, offering up an utterly classic nose of plum, cassis, currant leaf, blood orange, incense and a beautifully integrated framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and expansive, with a deep core of vibrant fruit and an ample chassis of beautifully fine-grained tannins which assert their Clos Vougeot muscularity by displaying a bit of grip on the long, lingering finish. While this is rendered with typical Drouhin elegance don't let that deceive you: this is a wine for the long haul, and its potential for sustained positive evolution in the cellar is considerable.' - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Apr 2018)
