(93-96 points) Pale but pretty colour. Light fruit on the nose. Spared from the frost, and as is typical of such cuvees in 2021, the wine feels more complete – in fact, displaying a particularly long finish. This avoids also the blocky side of Clos Vougeot, showing instead a rather fine fresh but light strawberry fruit. One could almost suggest that it is ethereal for this appellation! Drink from 2030-2038.

There's an openness to this red, from its enticing cherry, strawberry, spice and sun-kissed vegetal aromas and flavors to its bright acidity and light-weight, dusty tannins. Balanced and persistent, with a deft use of oak and a spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. — B.S.

(WA 91-93 points) Unusually supple and giving for this site, the 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru delivers aromas of plums, sweet berries, vine smoke and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and perfumed palate framed by succulent acids and melting tannins. - William Kelley
