CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a finely delineated, high-toned bouquet with more blue fruit than its peers and some flashy new oak that seems to be integrated with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, chewy and slightly bitter toward the finish, but there is good substance, Overall, I feel that this Clos Vougeot just needs time for its constituent parts to come together. I'll be keeping the faith, though I don't need the cough candy note that evolves in the glass. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Muscular and powerful, the 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, raw cocoa, spices, rose petals and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with rich structuring tannins and lively acids, this is built for the long haul.

Cask sample. Glowing ruby. Some really savoury undertow keeps this interesting! Polished tannins and some stoniness. Lots of pinched tannins but that s not a bad thing. Gives it interest and pace. Very different from most reds in the Jadot stable. Mineral not fruit. Not flattering but a success. Fine-boned.
