Critics Ratings

'Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru felt rather stemmy on the nose, especially when compared to others in this flight, although it improves with aeration and gains cohesion. A hint of Earl Grey perhaps? The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost rigid tannin. The acidity is well judged and lends this a sense of natural balance and poise, which particularly comes through on the tensile finish. This is a very fine Clos Vougeot made with a deft hand. Tasted September 2016.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Nov 2016)

'Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Some spicy evolution on the nose. Round and easy. Relatively sweet and lightweight - and developed. A bit unambitious for a grand cru however much fun it already delivers. Which is considerable. But as a Clos de Vougeot it doesn't quite cut the mustard.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Oct 2015)
