Clos de Vougeot 2017 Jean Grivot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru displays attractive aromas of licorice and cassis that mingle with nuances of rose petal and incense, framed by a judicious touch of new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with a broad-shouldered chassis of fine-grained tannins and the elegance and suppleness typical of the vintage, concluding with a sapid finish.

Jancis Robinson (18.50)

Lightish crimson. Red fruits, roses and a light hint of vanilla. One of those wines you want to go on smelling for ever. Tighter on the palate but still succulent. Tannic finesse. Great combination of subtlety and persistence. Red fruits and almost something close to citrus. (JH)

The colour shows more evolution and nose is sweetly smoky, perhaps a mix of stems (none used, in fact) and ripeness. Much more grip on the palate, I think this is going to become an excellent bottle in 5+ years.
