Tim Atkin
As it always the case, the Drouhins only use one of the two parcels of Clos de Vougeot that they own, keeping the other that’s close to the little tower and selling the lower one off in bulk. The result is a smooth, sumptuous Grand Cru red with lots of glossy oak and plenty of underlying structure. 2024-36.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru felt just a little disjointed compared to its peers at first and will hopefully gain more cohesion during the remainder of its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, raspberry preserve and cranberry tinged with white pepper, long in the mouth with a structured finish that bodes well for the future. Wait for the aromatics to get their act together, and you will have a very fine Clos de Vougeot that I suspect will rank alongside their 2015, if not surpass it.
James Suckling
This is a Clos de Vougeot with a dense and velvety texture that shows richness and structured. Yet, there is a friendliness and polish to the palate. Hazelnut and cream undertones. Reserved and almost shy at this point. Savory and flavorful.
