94-96 Matured with 50% whole bunches and 50% new oak, the 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is blessed with an exquisite bouquet of mineral-rich raspberry and cranberry fruit, hints of orange blossom and Asian spice. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle but insistent grip on the entry. A little chalky in texture, this is very well defined with plenty of energy palpable on the pesistent finish. This is a superb Clos Vougeot, the most intellectual of Clerget's 2019s. ... More details

93-95 The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is powerful and muscular, unwinding in the glass with notes of plums, cassis and berries, complemented by hints of violets, orange rind, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it's rich and elegantly tannic, with fine depth at the core and a long, gently chalky fisnih.

Rated 93 by Burghound
This is also sufficiently reduced to need a thorough aeration if you're tempted to go in for an early taste. More interesting are the slightly more concentrated larger-scaled flavors that exude evident power on the focused, serious and compact finish where the only reproach is a mild hint of warmth. This youthfully austere effort is very clearly built-to-age and is a wine that is going to need at least a decade of it first.
Winery
A rather harsh wine at first, awakened by the whole harvest. It needs time to calm down and reveal itself.

green grapes

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir grapes have been cultivated in and around the Burgundy region of France for centuries, where they have long been favored by vintners for their wide range of flavors, their thin skins and for producing wines which have light, smooth tannins, and a beautiful garnet red color Whilst they remain one of the flagship varietals of this special region, their wide popularity and recent status as a fashionable 'romantic' varietal has led to them being planted in almost every wine producing country in the world. However, the Pinot Noir demands a huge amount of care and attention from the wineries that wish to grow it, as this varietal is particularly susceptible to various forms of mildew and rot. Despite this, the grape is otherwise a favorite with wineries for the fact that it requires little extra effort once it begins fermentation. Pinot Noir is also widely known for producing some of the world's most famous sparkling wines, being one of two key grapes for the production of Champagne, and several other sparkling varieties.

Region: Burgundy

There are few more famous wine regions in the world than Burgundy, and this special area has given much to raise the profile of fine French wines around the world. Although most commonly associated with excellent quality red wines made with the Pinot Noir varietal, this region is home to several red and white varietals and produces and impressive range of wines, from still to sparkling, dry to sweet, full bodied and aged, and from to light and drinkable. The region of Burgundy has been producing excellent wines for centuries, with much evidence to suggest that the ancient Gauls were the first to cultivate the native vines which flourish here in the warm summers, and on the excellent soil fed by local rivers. This type of heritage has led to a wine industry highly unique, deeply traditional, and with an exquisite reputation to uphold.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
