Clos de Vougeot 2016 Gérard Raphet

Professionele reviews

Vinous (93)

The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a backward, almost broody bouquet with pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit laced with mineral. This is very well defined but it will clearly need 3 or 4 years. The palate is defined by its sweet core of tannins. What impresses the most is the precision and vivacity of this Clos de Vougeot. Hints of blood orange suffuse dense red fruit on the finish. Excellent.

Burghound (90)

A relatively bright and high-toned nose reflects notes of various red berries, in particular cherry and pomegranate, along with hints of earth and lilac. The supple and round, indeed almost soft mid-palate of the middle weight flavors contrasts with the moderately firm and complex finale. This could easily be enjoyed young.
