Domaine Nicole Lamarche - Clos Vougeot 2020 (750ml)

Burghound, Jan-22, Issue #85
(Domaine Nicole Lamarche Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Red) "An earthier and more somber if nicely layered nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark berries along with a whisper of the sauvage along with a floral top note. The delicious and rounded medium weight flavors possess focused power that really comes up on the dusty, chalky, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finale. This built-to-age effort is going to require at least some patience as it's quite tightly wound today. (Drink starting 2035)  91-94 points"

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 2020 Côte de Nuits South: Nuits-St-Georges to Vougeot (12/1/2021)
(Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Nicole Lamarche, Red) "A pretty ruby colour, not too deep. A most elegant and floral bouquet, not especially typical of the appellation, but very attractive. A little barrel toast. Good acidity to back the volume of lush fruit, this has length and class and will require a little time.  93-96 points"

Vinous, Dance the Quickstep: Burgundy 2020 (Dec 2021) (12/1/2021)
(Domaine Nicole Lamarche Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Red) "The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a tightly-wound nose that took time to open in the glass, touches of crushed rock filtering through the redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is smooth and sensual, more density and sinew than the Echezeaux and a touch more salinity and energy on the finish. This should age well, but deserves three to four years in bottle. (Drink between 2025-2050)  (94-96) points"
