The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru derives exclusively from Bouchard's holdings in the upper part of the vineyard, as the lower-lying plots are being replanted. It's a high point of the range this year, unfurling in the glass with aromas of violets, wild berries, dark chocolate, plums and orange rind. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with velvety tannins and a long, resonant finish, it's the best Clos Vougeot I can remember tasting at this address.

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a ripe redcurrant and kirsch scented nose, quite rich and opulent in style. The palate is powerful and dense, quite sturdy with a grippy, slightly dry finish. I would just like to see more elegance in this Clos de Vougeot - a bit stocky at the moment.
