2019 Domaine Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Magnum

(95 Points) A bit monolithic now, this red is dense and saturated with black cherry, blueberry, mineral and spice flavors. Though compact and shy, it shows its potential on the long, delineated aftertaste, which echoes the intense fruit and spice notes. Firm yet refined tannins underline it all. Best from 2026.  Wine Spectator

(94 Points) Jadot farms just over five acres of vines at Clos Vougeot, their fruit destemmed and fermented in vats before aging 18 months in barrels. This is classic Burgundy; its fragrant complexity and resonant length of flavor would be at home in the stone-walled monastery at Vougeot. For now, the wine is compressed into its tannins, its elegant depths of fruit bristling in that tannic structure, showing the capacity for long aging.  Wine & Spirits
