Pierre Rovani - Wine Advocate
Super-spicy
blackberries and black cherries make up the aromatic profile of
the 2003 Clos Vougeot. While Jadot’s parcel in this grand
cru is sometimes derided for its location (reaching down to the
wall by the N74), in '02 and '03 – two vintages where water-retaining
soils were advantageous – the results have been glorious.
Its dense, pure personality is medium to full-bodied, chewy-textured,
crammed with dark cherries, and immensely concentrated. This awesomely
deep, muscular, and persistent wine is masculine and displays exceptional
ripeness.
Projected maturity: '09-'20. |
