    This is such a lovely lieu-dit on the border of Chambolle Musigny. There are just 3 hectares of village wine in Vougeot, of which Clos du Village is one, sitting next door to Clos de Vougeot and below Chambolle Les Amoureuses! In 2021, Ben actually has more wine as he took the complete vineyard this year! Damson and sloes, this gives the perfect mix between generous plush fruit and a direct sweet intensity. There is a feeling of restrained power and, this is so much more than a simple village wine. Lovely.

  • Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 89-91

    The 2021 Vougeot Clos de Village, which is mostly de-stemmed, has a slightly subdued bouquet compared to some of the other cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied with red cherry and strawberry fruit and fine tannins. It's more vivacious on the finish compared to the nose, which I suspect will open with time. Give it a couple of years in bottle.

  • Matthew Jukes, January 2023, Score: 17.5

    Seamless, accurate, and beautifully resonant, this is a relatively straightforward wine, but it is generous and silky, and while it will drink young, it will hold well, too. It is £65, so it is a relative bargain in the greater scheme of things!

  • Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 88-90

    No whole bunches were used in this cuvée. A pretty and palish crimson red. Discreet on nose and palate, not one of the livelier examples, and while there is a fine sensual finish, I did not quite find the usual éclat associated over the years with the Clos du Village.

Region

Vougeot

Unlike the other predominant Côte de Nuits appellations, Vougeot's main appellation is its onlygrand cru vineyard, Clos de Vougeot. It is by far the largest grand cru of the area totalling over 50 hectares with over 40 owners rumoured to own vines. As a result, its vineyards run from the flat, clay-dominated valley floor to the well-drained, venerated sloped hillsides suggesting that its quality ending on where it is grown. As a result, it is often the least valued of the grand crus and can offer excellent value, particularly in good vintages where ripeness has been attained.
