Critics Scores
John Gilman
There are only three barrels of the 2011 Clos Vougeot from Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils, which is unfortunate, as this is a beautiful bottle in the making. The deep and youthful nose wafts from the glass in a refined blend of red and black cherries, red plums, bonfires, coffee, gamebirds, a superb base of soil and a nice framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and complex, with a sappy core of fruit, suave tannins and absolutely stunning length and grip on the focused and still quite primary finish. This will be a magical Clos Vougeot in the fullness of time.
Vinous
Bright dark red. Perfumed aromas of flowers, medicinal herbs, licorice and spices, with a suggestion of creme de cassis. Sweet, lush and very ripe, but showing less detail and energy today than the young Echezeaux. Finishes with round, sweet, very polished tannins and hints of chocolate and menthol. This wine includes a lower-than-normal percentage of juice from Bouchard's holding in the lower portion of the Clos as those vines were hit hard by coulure. (ST)
