Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Dec 17
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which was cropped around 20 hectoliters per hectare, has a well-defined bouquet, more mineral driven than I anticipated, possessing plenty of detailed dark cherry and strawberry fruit. This feels nimble in the mouth, with fine tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Maybe it does not have the length and persistence of the 2015, but it is still a delicious, very elegant Clos de Vougeot.

Edgy, walnut-skin nose but with good round fruit underneath. Not the most refined red burgundy but offers lots of delivery. Very bright fruit. (JR)
