94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Drouhin's 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, dark chocolate, incense and petals. Full-bodied, rich and enveloping, it's broad and dramatic, with a concentrated core of fruit, succulent acids, and velvety tannins that render it unusually approachable at this early stage.

Here the wood treatment is more apparent though still sufficiently subtle as to allow the earthy aromas of poached plum and cassis to be appreciated. The velvet-textured yet overtly powerful and muscular big-bodied flavors flash good muscle on the palate drenching, firm and very serious finish where the only nit is a trace of warmth. Patience absolutely advised.

 

Winemaker Notes

A revelation and a true wonder! The ruby red color is magnificent and takes on a deeper hue with age. The aromas are intense and evoke raspberry and wild cherry, becoming more complex with age: undergrowth, truffle, candied fruit. A sublime structure, with refined tannins. It is a perfect example of this ideal of elegance according to Drouhin. A remarkable balance and a lingering persistence of flavors on the palate. It is a wine that always leaves the greatest impression.

Excellent with prime meats: filet mignon, game, wild fowl, venison, and great cheeses.
