Description
Initial notes of mocha, candied cherry, and sweet tobacco evolve over time to an array of secondary nuances (dried flower, spiced strawberry, sandalwood) in a full and complex structure. The typical chewy tannins become refined and silky as this wine ages.Pair with roast meats and stews, suitable for the most elegant cuisines.

A sleek black cherry- and blackberry-infused version, this is tightly coiled and unfurls slowly across the palate. Remains linear and bracing as this ends with mineral and spice notes. Shows superb balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2045. 160 cases made, 80 cases imported.

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is deep in colour. It comes across a little oaky on the nose at the moment, a bit impenetrable. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, ripe and fleshy, quite sweet on the finish, but maybe missing the noblesse of its peers at the moment.

The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is a standout this year. Revealing aromas of cassis, dark cherries, incense, rose petals, dark chocolate and spices, it’s full-bodied, concentrated and structured, with striking depth and dimension. Vibrant and penetrating, it will require patience, but it’s the finest Clos Vougeot I’ve ever tasted from Jadot.
