Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Grivot's 2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with dark berry fruit, incense and a light melted-tar aroma. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy tannin and well-judged acidity. The oak is a little prominent, but it is simpatico with the structure of the wine and just needs a couple of years to be absorbed. It does have a slightly saturnine personality, but it is also a quite sumptuous and beautifully crafted Clos de Vougeot. Tasted September 2017.

Bright dark red with ruby tones. Lovely herbal lift to the dark cherry and licorice aromas, with hints of espresso and violet adding interest. Juicy, spicy and tightly wound; in a closed phase today but there's no shortage of sweetness here. Finishes with serious, youthfully rough tannins. This fruit was harvested at 12. 6% potential alcohol and chaptalized to 13. 2%.

Very rich and confident – perhaps the grandest wine I have tasted today – with real reverberance and massively nuanced fruit. (JR)
