Notes:
Burghound (Allen Meadows) 95
“Here the nose is compositionally similar to that of the regular cuvée but as is usually the case it is more reserved, more complex and the wood treatment is more subtle. There is notably better concentration to the impressively rich, powerful and muscular big-bodied flavors are shaped by dense but relatively fine tannins on the wonderfully long, balanced and again youthfully austere finale. This terrific effort is really most impressive though note well that it is going to need at least 10 years of bottle age and reward 15 to 18.” (January, 2017)
Vinous Media (Stephen Tanzer) 94
“Bright ruby-red. Lovely mineral and peony high notes lift dark fruits on the nose. Sappy, dense and penetrating, offering terrific concentration and lift to its flavors of dark berries, licorice and minerals. A superb vintage for this wine, less austere than some previous years. "We're coming from an era of cooler soils to warmer soils," noted Labet. "Global warming has been very good for Clos-Vougeot." This thick but energetic wines finishes with suave but serious building tannins and superb length. Incidentally, there was no separate Hommage bottling in 2014.” (March, 2017)
Wine Spectator (Bruce Sanderson) 94
“A suave red, with some power, offering earth-toned cherry and plum flavors lined by a firm base of tannins. Spice and iron elements peek through as this winds down on the long finish. Fine intensity. Best from 2021 through 2032. 138 cases imported.” (November, 2017)
