95 points Tim Atkin, MW (2018).
93-95 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is one-third whole cluster, less than in recent years according to winemaker Brian Sieve, with almost 50% new oak. It has a beautiful bouquet with scents of blackberry, raspberry coulis, crushed strawberries and seams of wet limestone underneath. The oak is seamlessly integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very focused and taut with pure black cherry and crushed strawberry on the tensile finish. This is a very stylish, quite ambitious Clos de Vougeot. Excellent. Drink: 2020-2045. (12/29/17)"
92-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(33% whole clusters). This too is exceptionally pretty with its perfumed aromas of essence of plum, violet, earth and once again a gentle application of wood influence. The rich, full-bodied and succulent large-scaled flavors possess a beguiling mix of power, vibrancy and delineation that also characterizes the beautifully long and balanced finish where the only nit is a forgivable trace of warmth. Good stuff though again, patience advised. Drink: 2031+. (Apr 2018)"
93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "One third whole bunch, 50% new oak. Up to 2015 this cuvee was made all whole cluster but the cool clay soils need something gentler. Firm medium density purple, a good concentration of fruit. The northern end of the plot got a bit frosted. I like the smooth rounded mouthful of almost ripe fruit, before the sense of coolness and the tannins come back behind. Good structure for long term ageing."
