Details
Is this a wine which expresses the Cistercian rigour which gave birth to it? No, its image is rather that of a refined gentleman: the grapes mature early here, but still give wines of great finesse, with a lace-like texture which lines the palate, and superb length.
The inherent complexity of a grand cru can be felt fairly quickly, it is an easy wine to approach. A wine which can be drunk young.
2022
Burghound 91-94: An unusually spicy nose for young Clos de Vougeot is comprised by pretty red and dark berries along with hints of earth and wood. The delicious and beautifully textured middleweight flavors are not particularly dense though this still display good power and drive on the dusty, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is lovely and fashioned in an understated style.
Vinous 92-94: The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from a blend of three parcels vinified separately, matured in 80% new oak, and blended before bottling. The well-defined bouquet is initially understated, with red and black fruit mixed with subtle marine scents, oyster shells and sea cave. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture. It has good concentration and is quite elegant, with gentle grip and much more complexity than the 2021 last year. It feels long and tender. Give it four or five years in bottle, and you will have a fine Clos Vougeot.
Decanter 96: Meo's Clos de Vougeot has a forward black cherry and lavender aroma with hints of earth and spice. The texture retains great elegance and finesse, with supple but firm tannins, abundant fresh acidity, and a lovely depth of extract. This wine has an alcohol level among the highest in the cellar, but it is still under 14% - an admirable achievement in 2022. Méo tells us that he will blend his parcels to make one wine this year from his 2.75 hectares of vines in La Garenne (Près le Cellier) and Grand Maupertuis.
