About the Drouhin-Laroze Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2020 / 2021
The Domaine's Grands Crus are matured in oak barrels, 80% of which are new and crafted from wood sourced from the Allier and Nivernais regions, with light to medium-plus toasts used to ensure harmony between the wine and wood tannins. When young, the wine shows a raspberry red to deep garnet color, with a full-bodied bouquet reminiscent of black fruit, licorice, spices, and hints of wood and leather. On the palate, melted oak gently frames aromas of black fruit, truffle, anise, and cherry, while the intense, powerful, and precise tannins carry through a long, unctuous finish. This Grand Cru has been described by Camille Rodier as "a grave and wonderful thing, powerful and free of torment." It pairs beautifully with risotto with truffles or a thick steak with pepper sauce.
2021 Vintage Ratings
93 Points - Vinous
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a classy bouquet with slightly darker fruit, fine mineralité and impressive delineation. There is real "thrust" to these aromatics, though they remain quite primal. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins that lend a more creamy texture. It feels just a little "worked" in the winery and as such loses some of the detail expressed by the nose, although there is decent substance and it should repay time in bottle.
