Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Pierre Rovani - Very dark, aromatically, the fragrant Clos Vougeot explodes with highly-concentrated cassis and blueberries. In the inky, almost impenetrable mouth, abundant quantities of toasted dark fruits, oak and Asian spices are found in this full-bodied hunk of a wine. Long and powerful, it will require considerable patience.Stephen Tanzer's IWC
Deep red-ruby. Extravagantly rich aromas of blackcurrant, pepper, smoke and tar. Large-scaled, deep and very sweet; explosively fruity and impressively tactile. Chewy tannins are buried under a wave of finishing fruit. A knockout Clos Vougeot truly worthy of its grand cru status.Additional Information

Vintages can vary widely in Burgundy, with the best years far outperforming lesser years. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes reign supreme, with the best examples coming from forty Grand Crus such as Romanée-Conti, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin.

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil.View all our items from France
