Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

Edouard Delaunay’s 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru holds nothing back, giving you plenty to talk about and enjoy. This red Bourgogne’s alluring and abundant aroma suggests a cherry and black berry jam teamed up with red licorice, mint and eucalyptus. This pinot noir feels silky, dessert dry and tilts to full-bodied. I particularly like how this Grand Cru tastes. Its flavours are in no rush to leave as they share with you cherries, berries, stacks of herbal goodness and sweet spices.

Plenty to talk about and enjoy in this wine? Absolutely. This is a gorgeous wine from the team leading Edouard Delaunay’s rebirth in Bourgogne.

What is Clos de Vougeot? It is the largest Grand Cru appellation within France’s Côte de Nuit appellation. Clos de Vougeot is a 50+ hectares vineyard subdivided between 80 owners. The 2018 Edouard Delaunay’s grape were handpicked from plots within Clos de Vougeot that feature limestone and clayey soil.
