2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Eugenie, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Eugenie

The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a perfumed bouquet with dark cherry fruit, blackcurrant and briary tinged with fine mineralité - hints of cold stone percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannin, good depth of fruit and crucially a keen line of acidity that maintains the tension. There is a subtle spicy, almost white pepper element to this Clos Vougeot that becomes more accentuated as it gently fans out on the finish. This is a very impressive Clos de Vougeot. - Neil Martin, Dez. 2016

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Eugenie

Initially there is a whiff of reduction present though it quickly blows off to reveal ripe if brooding and wonderfully complex aromas of black cherry fruit and warm earth undertones. The rich, full and powerful broad-shouldered flavors also possess outstanding concentration where the dry extract completely saturates the palate on the long and dusty finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is really quite refined as once again the relatively fine-grained tannins contribute significantly toward the sleek mouthfeel. Once again, like its stable mate, this should be capable of aging for a very long time. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2018

Vinous - 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Eugenie

The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a beautiful, well-defined, complex bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry, pain d’épices and minerals, mercurial in the glass and changing with virtually every swirl. The palate is sleek and smooth. There is obviously some seductive new oak at play here, but it is simpatico with the fruit and dovetails seamlessly toward the velvety long finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. - Neal Martin, Nov. 2018
