2015 Domaine Louis Jadot, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 92+

Full medium red. High notes of spices and flowers lift the aromas of cherry and licorice. A distinctly floral, saline style of Clos Vougeot, conveying a juicy quality to its cherry, redcurrant, menthol and mineral flavors. Still rather tightly wound and not yet showing the richness, fleshiness or sweetness of the vintage, this wine may be in the process of shutting down in bottle. Quite precise in the context of its vintage but very closed today, with a medicinal quality that calls for patience. But the tooth-coating tannins are refined and the wine’s finishing salty minerality suggests that it will reward extended aging. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/01/2018]

Robert Parker 91

The 2015 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has an expressive nose with red cherry, cranberry and strawberry fruit, a feminine bouquet with neatly integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite tensile in the mouth with a slightly pinched, compact finish that should broaden out once it has completed its élevage. This is a respectable grand cru, even if I would not hold it up as one of Jadot’s top-tier 2015s. [Neal Martin, 09/28/2017]
