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

Vinous 92

The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a lifted bouquet that needs to shake off some reduction but eventually offers black cherry, burnt toast, black olive and subtle pencil box aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, featuring ripe black and red fruit laced with white pepper and sage. Harmonious and well balanced, sporting admirable weight toward the finish and a long peppery aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. [Neal Martin, 13/11/2018]

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 elevage. This is a respectable grand cru, even if I would not hold it up as one of Jadot’s top-tier 2015s. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
