Robert Parker The Wine Advocate – Score 93/100
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing well from bottle, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, cassis and spices, subtly framed by new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and nicely concentrated, its chassis of velvety tannin largely cloaked in juicy fruit, concluding with a nicely delineated finish. It’s comparatively elegant in style. The 2016 is derived almost exclusively from Grivot’s holdings at the bottom of the vineyard as his higher-lying plots were ravished by frost.
Vinous – Clos de Vougeot 2016 Grivot – Score 90-93/100
Bright, dark red-ruby. Pure but muted aromas of medicinal black cherry and licorice. In a distinctly virile style and hard to taste today following the sensational range of Vosne premier crus, as this youthfully imploded wine shows more pronounced herb, menthol and earth elements and little early sweetness. A forceful if less sophisticated wine but its tannins are still rather smooth (Grivot described it as “un grand garçon maladroit”).
