Éleveur 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Rouge is a 100% single-vineyard Pinot Noir from select blocks nestled on the coveted upper slopes in one of the world’s most famous Pinot vineyards. This powerful yet elegant beauty garnered 96 points from the Burgundy expert Jasper Morris under its original label, only to be confirmed by another 96 points from James Suckling this time under our label. If you imported this Grand Cru directly from the source, you’re looking at paying close to $540/bottle all in. But not with us - currently, we’re the only place offering it stateside, and at over 50% OFF.
Nicely concentrated on the pour with a dark ruby presentation, the wine is elegant on the nose with eucalyptus, plum, and raspberry sauce haloed by tree bark, coffee, and spice. The entry is round and resonant with red berries, strawberries, and tobacco leaf, perfectly built upon balanced, fresh acidity and velvety tannins. The finish is cola-driven with hints of black cherry and vanilla, carried through with balanced, but apparent, spice - this wine is exceptional with a healthy decant today, but will really shine with some proper cellaring time.
