Jadot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022

"Glowing fresh crimson colour. The nose shows fresh fruit without detail as yet. I am impressed by the weight and energy of this very promising Clos Vougeot There is plenty up front, muscular, but enough behind too. A beautiful finish as pure class peeps throughout. Very happy with this! Drink from 2032-2040."

"Beautiful black fruit, complex spices and a velvety texture give this a brooding, deep and concentrated expression. Packed with black cherry, blueberry, spearmint, bay leaf and moss nuances, it’s complex, full-bodied and superbly balanced. So concentrated, yet structured and age-worthy. Fuller and riper than usual in this vintage, it’s still a great candidate for long aging. Best after 2030."

"There is a sense this red is holding back, yet the core of cherry and raspberry fruit is seductive, framed by a luscious texture, lively acidity and refined tannins. It's oak treatment is also nicely meshed, with a slight dusty feel on the earth- and spice-tinged finish."

"The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which comes from foudre, has a very pure and seductive bouquet with glossy red cherries and strawberry fruit mixed with incense and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry. Quite a sinewy Clos Vougeot with impressive weight on the mid-palate, if missing a little precision on the finish. Sure, it will improve during the remainder of its élevage, but give it 4-5 years in bottle."
