Clos de Vougeot 1990 Faiveley

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

This firm offers a strong line-up of grands crus from the Cote de Nuits. If you are looking for a rustic wine, with muscle and structure, Faiveley's Clos de Vougeot should be considered. The tightly knit Clos de Vougeot exhibits a deep ruby color, followed by a reticent but promising bouquet of jammy black-cherries and new oak that refused to dissipate even after 10-15 minutes of swirling. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, rich, and powerful, with gobs of fruit, glycerin, and tannin in the finish. I would not touch a bottle before the late nineties.

A graceful wine, with earth and berry characteristics, masses of fine tannins and a truly gorgeous finish.
