Description / Reviews
"This Domaine possesses by far the most important parcel of the grand cru Clos de Vougeot and has the privilege of being the sole producer that has its winery within the Clos itself. The quality of the grapes in the Vieilles Vignes is exceptional and their vinification in whole bunches, not destemmed, gives a wine of prodigious breeding, worthy of comparison with the greatest Richebourg. The standard cuvée, excellent also, is produced from the younger vines…” Michel Bettane & Thierry Desseauve, Le Grand Guide des Vins de France
"The 2022 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru reflects Edouard Labet's efforts to render this cuvée a bit more suave and refined by adapting vinification to each parcel with a view to optimizing the components of his blend. Offering up aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with orange zest, incense and spices, it's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a rich and enveloping core of fruit." - William Kelley, robertparker.com
"The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Cuvée Classique Grand Cru includes around 50% whole clusters. This has a very well-defined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry, briar and light truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and saline, silky smooth and what feels like a more approachable Clos Vougeot as Edouard Labet intends. Yet it has the substance to age over 15-20 years." - Neal Martin, vinous.com
