About This Wine:
Situated at 240 metres in altitude, on the lower part of the estate, the brown soil dating back to the tertiary era is deep and marly with lots of clay and refined silt.
STYLE
Dense and earthy, it unveils morello cherry and fresh cherry aromas that persist with a long finish. With time, its strength grows and becomes even more chiselled and silky. This is a great age worthy wine.
Ratings & Reviews
"Located just below Château de la Tour in what Arnaud Mortet calls 'the best part of the lower part of the Clos', the domaine's parcel runs to 0.35ha. Made with 30% stems and 70% new oak, it's very much a clay-derived style with plenty of texture, smooth tannins and layers of sweet, sensuous red berry fruit." Drink 2025-2030. - Tim Atkin (October 2018)
96 Points - Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy:
"Located just below Château de la Tour in what Arnaud Mortet calls 'the best part of the lower part of the Clos', the domaine's parcel runs to 0.35ha. Made with 30% stems and 70% new oak, it's Rich dark purple, stems apparent on the nose along with dark fruit. This absolutely sings on the palate, quite high toned, gorgeous flamboyant rich red cherry fruit, then a fine weight of fruit behind. More Mortet than Clos de Vougeot. Tasted: December 2018.
94 Points - Burghound:
"Moderate wood frames ripe, fresh and cool notes of red and dark currant, plum, and earth and leather wisps. There is at once very good richness but also fine delineation to the solidly powerful middle weight flavors that possess good muscle on the youthfully austere, firm, serious and beautifully complex and persistent finale. Good stuff."
91-93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
" Aromas of sweet cherries, cassis, rich spices, incense and orange peel introduce the 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy rendition of this bottling, with a deep core of fruit and surprisingly melting tannins. Mortet's evolution in the direction of finesse coupled with the generous vintage has made for a supple, charming Clos de Vougeot that will offer uncharacteristically precocious drinking." - William Kelley (January 2019)
