(95-98 points) 70% whole bunch vinification and 12 new barrels in 14. Full deep purple. The nose is much sterner than the Grands Echezeaux but the wine may be very nearly as fine. There is a purist, Cistercian element on the palate: this is beautifully constructed though the oak shows at the moment, savoury, with real grip at the back side alongside the happily managed dark fruit. This wine is weighted to the back, whereas the Grands Echezeaux gets you going form the first moment. Very promising- no, more than that, its the real deal.

This ripples with liquorice and black chocolate and higher acidity than the last two Echezeaux and Grand-Echezeaux wines - it's hard to ignore the width and depth on display here. I love how the different personalities are staked out in these last three wines, despite being located less than 500m from each other. 50% whole cluster. This is 1.36ha from the upper part of the Clos Vougeot hillside, on clay-limestone and clay-silt soils.

(92-95 points) There is a hint of bitter chocolate to the ripe aromas of plum, wild red berries, warm earth and whiffs of violet and anise. Once again there is excellent volume to the bright and vivacious big-bodied flavors that possess fine mid-palate density on the silky but punchy, lingering and impeccably well-balanced finish that is supported by even firmer tannins. Lovely.

(92-94 points) The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is raised with 70% whole bunch and around 80% new oak. Here, I feel that the stems are just jutting out a little more compared to the Grands Echézeaux and slightly obscures the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, fine backbone, perhaps without the same amplitude on the finish as either the Echézeaux or its "big brother". Still, this will give two or three decades of drinking pleasure.
