2020 Henri Rebourseau Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes (Pre-arrival)

Jasper Morris (94-97) – “This is now the sole cuvee under the domaine label, made from the 1927 plantings. An attractive mid purple. Ripe soft red fruit on the nose with considerable density. This is well balance between the ripeness of the fruit and the tensile strength of the structure, with the same pleasing red fruit returning at the finish. Plenty of energy at the finish.

Vinous/Neal Martin (94-96) – “The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru comes from the parcel planted in 1927. The nose had quite a lot of reduction making it difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, quite fine tannins with a keen line of acidity. I admire the cohesion here and there is more complexity and mineralité on the prolonged finish. Certainly this should age with style, although it will need several years in bottle. (Drink between 2026-2050)”
