The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is very promising, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries, cherries, orange rind, potpourri and loamy soil. Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's seamless and complete, with superb depth at the core and a long, resonant finish. It will be fascinating to compare with the 2019 rendition in two decades' time.
Apart from 2017, Jean-Nicolas Méo only makes one commercially available cuvée of his substantial holding of Clos de Vougeot. Even purple throughout. This is a sturdy, weighty, richly dark fruited, multi-layered wine, with great potential for the long term. Ripe but not exaggerated.
Really ripe notions of fine black cherry characterise the nose. The palate comes in with the same ripeness but equally with chiselled contours of elegant fruit and fine freshness. This is smooth and sinuous, balanced and understated. A picture of elegance and graceful power. Certainly amongst the outstanding expressions of Vougeot.
