The Story
Its highly delineated bouquet offers rich aromas of sweet dark cherries, violets, and confit orange that seamlessly transition into a medium-to-full-bodied, fleshy palate. Reviewers consistently praise its creamy texture layered with deep red and blue fruits, all supported by fine, saturated Grand Cru tannins and a bright streak of acidity. Rather than the rustic heaviness sometimes associated with this vineyard, Charles Van Canneyt has crafted a polished, lacy wine with a spicy, blood-orange-inflected finish that demands patience in the cellar, destined to reach its peak drinking window from 2033 well into the 2040s.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, confit orange and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's a textural, creamy wine with ripe tannins and a spicy, perfumed finish.
