From Clos de Vougeot
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | 94-96 Jm / 93-95 Wa / 93-95 Vm / 92-95 Bh. Much more massive of course than the Echezeaux which preceded it. There are no stems retained, though Jérôme Flous thinks he might like to try some in Clos Vougeot. A reductive wood note is slightly interfering with the purity of the nose. Certainly very sweet fruit on the palate, on the chunky side, but that's fine for a young Clos Vougeot. Tasted: November 2020-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Aromas of cherries, wild berries, incense and loamy soil, framed by a deft touch of spicy new oak, introduce the 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered wine that's elegantly muscular, with terrific depth and concentration. Long and penetrating, this is a fine longer-haul proposition from Faiveley.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate. The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru comes from Faiveley's 1.27-hectare parcel. It has a floral nose with potpourri and light lavender aromas that partially occlude the fruit expression. The palate is lithe on the entry with modest depth and quite tertiary in style, and a keen thread of acidity lends freshness on the finish. A little austere in style, it opens with aeration to offer a very minerally finish. Here, it put the Echézeaux 2019 in its place.-- Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Note: blended from 3 separate lieux-dits, two near the bottom and one near the top. Tasting note: A distinctly earthy and exceptionally fresh nose speaks of the pure essence of various red berries and a whiff of underbrush. There is both excellent density and richness to the imposingly scaled flavors that culminate in a delineated, sappy and markedly austere yet refreshing finale. This is a classically styled Clos that will take its sweet time maturing.-Allen Meadows, Burghound |
