Tasting Notes
-
Neal Martin, December 2013,
Score: 89-91The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from contracted vines that yields just one or two barrels that Caroline Parent hopes to increase in the future when the Gros family exchange parcels with Bernard Gros’ current holding. It has a very perfumed, very floral bouquet that is actually reminiscent of Bonnes-Mares. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, black currant pastilles and cassis. It is well-defined and full of joie-de-vivre.

Burghound, April 2014,
Score: 91-93This is also notably restrained and understated with its reticent but beautifully complex aromas of red currant, earth, underbrush and a touch of the sauvage that are trimmed in just enough wood toast to notice. There is fine concentration and plenty of palate coating dry extract that imparts a seductive texture to the large-scaled and powerful flavors that possess excellent volume on the dusty finish. This is moderately austere but not really rustic thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins. Note though that patience will be required because even though the tannins are fine they are also dense. Drink 2023+
