Vinous
The 2014 Clos de Vougeot emerges from three parcels that span the upper, mid-slope and lower parts of this large vineyard. Dense and powerful, but also quite a bit less polished than the other Grand Crus, the Clos de Vougeot is nevertheless endowed with notable personality. A rush of dark red cherry, plum, smoke and savory herbs punctuates this wild, intense, but also deeply expressive Burgundy.

A slightly wild nose consists of underbrush, freshly turned earth, smoked game and subtle spice hints on the dense and liqueur-like dark berry fruit aromas. The dusty, intense and well-muscled big-bodied flavors are shaped by very firm but relatively sophisticated tannins on the well-balanced and youthfully austere finale that exhibits simply huge length. The imposing structure is more of a background element at present because of all the mid-palate sap, but this will be a long-distance runner.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru had the unenviable task of following the spellbinding Richebourg and I feel that it does not quite deliver the same degree of complexity and profundity. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, just a touch of meatiness on the more savory finish that is long and tender. Fine, if not quite at the level of Lalou's other grand crus this year.
