Vinous (89-91)
The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, matured in 50% new oak, feels rather muted on the nose at the moment, surpassed by the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and good density, but at the moment it just feels a little voiceless and needs more personality to develop during the remainder of its barrel maturation. Maybe the weak link in their portfolio this year?Inc. TAX€1,022.88 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which took the longest to finish its alcoholic fermentation, has a ripe, opulent bouquet of black cherries, blueberry and cassis aromas, perhaps not displaying the delineation of the previous two vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fine acidity and good energy. The grippy, slightly oaky finish will need time to knit together. Give it three or four years in bottle.Inc. TAX€1,067.03 -
(3x150cl) 2019Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very perfumed, floral bouquet of ebullient dark plum and elderberry fruit intermingled with light sea spray/seaweed aromas, all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity and a crunchy, minerally finish that does this ancient clos proud. Superb. Give it 5–6 years in bottle.Inc. TAX€1,751.04 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very pure and quite precocious bouquet with black cherries, crushed violet and peony aromas, actually not unlike a Romanée-Saint-Vivant in style. Thet palate is succulent on the entry with candied orange peel infusing the mainly black fruit that merges into more red fruit towards the velvety finish. Quite gorgeous.Inc. TAX€1,179.59 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru had more fruité than other vintages according to Thomas Collardot. It has a pretty, well-defined nose with ample dark cherry and blackcurrant scents. Fine focus. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite linear and focused, nice salinity towards the finish that gets the saliva flowing. This is promising though it doesn't quite "let go" like Collardot's other cuvées.Inc. TAX€1,291.68 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
A rich deep purple, super saturated, with a bouquet to match. A full and firm structure with Thomas Collardot’s abundant fruit flowing over the top. A darker fruit with a blackberry note, but not the mulberry which would imply over-ripeness. The 20% whole bunch vinification adds an additional freshness, a slight salinity which works very well.

Heading towards full purple. While there is plenty of density, there is not yet much detail in the fruit on the nose. On the palate, the darker berry fruit kicks in across the middle, before a more formal raft of tannins. A good solid example of what Clos Vougeot should be. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc.

Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru comes from vines planted in 1933 and 1954, though remarkably, Sébastien told me that one parcel was a fruit orchard as late as 1964. The classy bouquet of mineral-rich red berry fruit, graphite and undergrowth aromas reveals just a hint of morels in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, a very elegant, refined style and a linear finish. Understated and classy.Inc. TAX€1,291.68 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet of dark berry fruit, crushed stone and touches of truffle and iodine. It just bursts from the glass. The palate is very ripe and sweet on the entry, displaying a lot of sucrosity and a very vibrant finish laden with cola-tinged black fruit. It might just be a little too much for my palate, although I suspect it will be very seductive.Inc. TAX€1,140.48 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2019 Clos de La Roche Grand Cru has a delineated, succinct bouquet, the 25% whole bunch seamlessly integrated with blackberry, briar and faint traces of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and nice focus, leading to quite a strict, linear finish. I can imagine this requiring cellaring for several years before it loosens up. Fine salty aftertaste.Inc. TAX€1,388.63 -
Vinous (96-98)
The 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a powerful yet beguiling, elegant bouquet that offers layers of red cherry and blackberry fruit, the oak here seamless integrated, likewise the whole bunch. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, saturated tannins, the fleshy/puppy fat almost disguising the backbone present here. Very persistent on the finish, this is an excellent, luxurious and yet sophisticated Clos de la Roche.Inc. TAX€216.84 -

The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru showed just a tiny reduction on the nose but one can still discern the flinty red berry fruit underneath, and hints of pressed rose petal. The palate is well-balanced with crunchy black fruit, slatey, and quite mineral, that the reduction might accentuate. Persistent on the finish. This is an intellectual proposition in a vintage where that is uncommon.Inc. TAX€1,399.68 -

5 Star Wine. A glowing fresh purple. Not reduction but just a mineral flinty top note above the fruit. Sitting back on its haunches but this lack of immediacy makes it even finer. All at the back of the palate and then additional waves come through thereafter, blue fruit indeed. So subtle yet striking as well Drink from 2032-2040.Inc. TAX€1,687.68 -

The usual classy fresh colour. The bouquet is a thing of beauty, very subtle, also supple, with floral notes. Silky in texture, the fruit is a darker red here, plus blueberry, more sensual than savoury though the finish brings us back to classic Clos de la Roche. All in harmony Drink from 2032-2040.

Of the six wines I tasted from Thomas Coquard, it was the 2013 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru that was the standout wine. It has a showstopping bouquet that unfolds with each swirl of the glass: blackberry, violets, small red cherries and a touch of vanilla. The palate has a gentle grip that allows the fine tannins that are wrapped in velvety red and black fruit. This grand cru is all about the build and the way it fans out on the finish. There is palpable energy and animation within this Clos-Saint-Denis, with exquisite precision on the finish. Sublime.Inc. TAX€348.68 -

There are three barrels of the 2016 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, two of them new, coming from the domaine’s 0.17 hectares of vines planted in 1936. It has a spellbinding bouquet with pure macerated red cherries, hints of violet and crushed white flowers, building all the time with aeration while maintaining impeccable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, actually quite Clos de la Roche in style, sensual and rounded with an exquisite, poised finish tinged with blue fruit that lingers on and on and on. This is a stunning Clos Saint-Denis.Inc. TAX€868.08 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2017 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru comes from vines planted in 1936, and was raised in three barrels this year (two of them new.) It has a clean, precise tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, raspberry preserve, pressed iris and subtle undergrowth, almost peaty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, quite masculine compared to the Clos de la Roche, and shows firmer grip and persistence on the chalky finish. Very fine and quite cerebral.Inc.

The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru was the most closed and backward on the nose when I tasted the wines from barrel, but there is tightly coiled energy here, along with orange-sorbet-infused red fruit. The palate is beautifully defined with a slightly grainy texture, fine tannins and disarming purity of fruit toward the crystalline finish. An outstanding 2018 from CLF.Inc. TAX€464.04 -

The 2019 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, matured with 25% whole bunch and 50% new oak, is cohesive and nuanced on the nose, offering gorgeous black fruit, briar, undergrowth and crushed stone aromas with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, a fine bead of acidity and superb salinity on the finish. This was the last Clos Saint-Denis that I encountered in five weeks of tasting in Burgundy, and – blow me down! – it might be one of the best.Inc. TAX€2,158.54 -
(3x75cl) 2020Burghound (93-96)
Very ripe yet fresh aromas are comprised by notes of cassis black cherry liqueur and a lovely range of spice elements. There is excellent richness to the opulent and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of dry extract that buffers the very firm but well-integrated tannins on the hugely long finish. This is finer than the Clos de la Roche but not as complex though that of course is likely to change with time in bottle.Inc. TAX€1,789.48 -

The 2023 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a lilting, finely delineated bouquet of brambly red berry fruit and forest floor, with touches of cep mushroom in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, strict and linear at first but branching out toward the lightly spiced, refined finish.
