Clos de Vougeot 2007 Lucien Le Moine

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

From three barrels chosen to represent the range of distinctive microclimates and soils within this famous cru, Le Moine 2007 Clos Vougeot leads strikingly with coniferous, distilled red fruit, pan drippings, and oceanic saline aromas. Roasted meat richness and a plummy side to the fruit inform a bright, well-stuffed, firmly and finely tannic palate, leading to a finish of impressively saliva-inducing savor. This should be fascinating to follow for the better part of a decade.

Dark and brooding, with plenty of black cherry, blackberry and plum aromas and flavors augmented by flowers, oak spice and mineral. Concentrated and long, this has sweetness and balance in a big-boned way.
