Goedhuis, January 2011
Clos de Vougeots from all over the Côte hit their sweet spot in 2009 and Philippe's is noexception. A deep, rich nose of black cherries and succulent red plums leads to a vinous and ever so slightly ‘wild' palate. Well-paced, refined and round, this is a wonderfully balanced wine thatwill deliver lots of pleasure.

Neal Martin, January 2011, Score: 93-95
Tasted out of barrel at the Domaine. This has quite a strict bouquet, good mineralité showing through with fine definition, developing some lovely rose petal aromas with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with taut tannins, very good focus and a Vosne-like precision and poise, sorbet orange on the fresh, lively finish. Excellent.

Burghound, January 2011, Score: 92-94
This is also backwards and inexpressive with a ripe nose ofred and blue berry fruit aromas that are cut with notes of earth, underbrush and a slightly sauvage hint that is reflected by thedense, serious and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors that possess a highly-textured mouth feel on the youthfully austere andquite firmly structured finish. A classic Clos de Vougeot.

Lots of rather leafy personality here. Reasonable concentration but not enough wow for the money. Competent rather than thrilling.

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: parents Christine and Philippe, and children Caroline and Nicolas. They have an embarrassment of riches within their armoury of four 1ers Crus and six exceptional Grands Crus, culminating with plots of both Clos de Bèze and Le Musigny. They also boast one of the finest two storey cellars in the Côte d’Or, built by members of the Prussian military on their way back from the Hundred Years War, with ideal conditions maintaining perfect temperatures for Philippe’s preferred two-year élevage in cask.The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.Read less
