Scores

Gorgeously fragrant, so Burgundy, so Beaune. Deeply fruited on the palate and very fine tannic texture. As precise as his pouring. Long, spicy finish. Good Value.
16.5 Points, Jancis Robinson MW


A notably ripe but agreeably fresh nose speaks of cassis, violet and plum. There is outstanding richness to the impressively concentrated and generous flavors that are shaped by a moderately firm tannic spine that belies just a hint of rusticity. Note that this mouth coating effort should drink well young. It is also very Champ Pimont in character which is to say that it's not a wine of finesse but it is notably rich and ripe.
89-91, Allen Meadows

Tasting Notes

Most of the crop was lost which is a pity as this is a beautiful wine with a delicate bouquet of pure red fruits and an elegant seasoning of spice. The palate is sweet fruited with flavours of wild strawberries and raspberries balanced by silky tannins and an energetic freshness. This wine will be delicious in a few years but should age well. Drink from 2018.

ProducerDomaine des Clos

Domaine des Clos has been started from scratch, the hard way, entirely due to the immense efforts and talents of Grégoire Bichot. These wines have become a fixture in the Armit lists in a very short space of time. Now farmed biodynamically, Grégoire coaxes out the very best from his smallholdings in Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru and Nuits St Georges and his preference for natural, fruit-driven wines that can be accessed in their youth. We continue to expect great things from this excellent and exciting source in the years to come. See More
