2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Mugneret-Gibourg, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is also showing very well, though it's a little more reserved than the Ruchottes-Chambertin today, unwinding in the glass with notes of ripe cherries and berries that mingle with scents of ponies, exotic spices and loamy soil. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and velvety textured, with a deep and concentrated core, refined structuring tannins and a long, sapid finish. This young Clos Vougeot's structural elegance is deceptive, as this is a very serious effort built for the long haul, and it is one example of a 2017 red Burgundy that will be better on its 20th birthday than its 10th. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

More modulated wood influence surrounds the spice, herbal tea and earth-infused red and dark currant-scented nose. Once again there is excellent energy to the broad-shouldered and intense flavors that possess the usual level of youthful austerity on the dusty, sneaky long and powerful though somewhat grippy finish. As is usually the case with this wine at this stage of its development, this is also presently very compact and is going to require at least moderate patience for it to unwind and flesh out. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet that unfurls from the glass to reveal raspberry, hints of dark chocolate, cedar and undergrowth; there is a touch of mintiness here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and beautifully balanced with vivid red berry fruit, plus a liberal sprinkling of white pepper on the finish. Excellent. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2020
