Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a clean, subtle and well-defined bouquet with attractive wild strawberry, Morello and redcurrant scents. The oak here is much better integrated compared to the Clos de Vougeot from Hudelot-Noëllat. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin. I appreciate the purity here, the balance and poise, the manner in which it gently fans out on the finish. Excellent—this is another impressive showing from Bouchard Père et Fils. Tasted September 2017.- Neal Martin

Good dark red, not hugely saturated Cool, medicinal scents of black cherry, spices and herbs Juicy, pure and youthfully imploded, conveying excellent energy to its black fruit and licorice flavors Not a fleshy wine but still easier to taste today than the 2015 Crisp acidity and savory minerality contribute to its penetrating quality, but there's nothing hard about this wine Finishes with firm, ripe tannins and excellent length.- Stephen Tanzer
