Restrained, tight and firm approach. Then darker, blacker fruit emerges, reluctantly. This is big and dense - but with seemingly very measured intensity. Great energy and powerful push. This is complete, full on but so integrated already. Powerful but sleek and polished. L&S (Nov 2019)

(blended from 3 separate parcels). Here the aromatic profile is completely different with its relatively elegant and high-toned nose that consists of red cherry, raspberry, soft earth and humus scents that are trimmed in subtle wood nuances. The sleek, round and seductive medium-bodied flavors possess lovely mid-palate density and richness, all wrapped in a very firmly structured, dusty and balanced finale that flashes the characteristic youthful austerity. Drinking range: 2035 - Rating: 92-94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2020)
The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is performing very well, wafting from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, wild berries, incense, rich soil tones and woodsmoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and broad-shouldered, with a deep and layered core, rich structuring tannins and ripe but succulent acids. Long and sapid, this is another excellent Clos Vougeot from Faiveley, and this cuvée seems to go from strength to strength every year. Rating: 93-95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)
A big wine. Broad and punchy. Tannic structure. Power. Very compact and burly. Vigorous finish. Drinking range: 2028 - 2040 Rating: 97 Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Nov 2019)
