Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 30/06/2004 Lachaux’s 2002 Clos de Vougeot, from a large well-placed parcel, is an exceptional example of this grand cru’s rarely seen potential. Its deep, intense aromas display licorice-infused blackberries and spices. On the palate, this wine’s power, depth, and concentration are matched by its purity and detail. This huge, medium to full-bodied effort coats the mouth with tar, black cherries, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. Its prolonged, harmonious finish reveals copious quantities of prodigiously ripe tannin. Drink this beauty between 2008 and 2018. (92)
