Average Critic Score: 91.5/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Few names in Burgundy carry the weight of Clos de Vougeot, the walled Grand Cru founded by the Cistercian monks that sits at the heart of the Cotes de Nuits. Bouchard Pere & Fils has long held vines inside the clos, and its 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a surprisingly powerful wine for the vintage. William Kelley (Wine Advocate) rated it 91-93 points, noting an unusually muscular, broad-shouldered profile, while Neal Martin (Vinous) scored it 90+ points. It is a serious, structured Pinot Noir that asks for patience.
Offering up aromas of dark berries, cassis, burning embers, spices and licorice, the 2021 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, rich, layered and textural, with powdery tannins and an unusually muscular, broad-shouldered profile for the vintage. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (91-93 pts)
A wine to cellar with confidence and revisit as it unwinds.

90 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a little reduction on the nose, though there is satisfying brambly red fruit here, sous-bois and freshly picked rose aromas. Fine delineation. The palate feels just a little muddled at first with chewy tannins and red berry fruit laced with orange rind and a bit of capsicum. Solid and a bit unyielding on the finish, this is just missing finesse and charm. Given its showing from barrel, I suspect it might be just entering a dumb phase. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.”
