Reviewed November 2022Among the best wines made in the Clos this year, this wine shows pronounced aromas of ripe mulberry and plum with accents of earth and mineral. The substance and volume on the palate are astonishing for the vintage and complement the firm tannins and depth of fruit. Gros had us taste it after the Richebourg, and she was right. It is produced from her 80-year-old vines in Le Grand Maupertui, which yielded a gratifying 35hl/ha this year, more than most other sites. (CC)

They are allowed 11.5 barrels, aim to make 9 and in 2021 managed a reasonable 7 of which three new. The bouquet is not yet ready to give up detail, though one senses a significant volume behind. And indeed, here it comes on the palate, a fine plump raspberry fruit with balanced acidity and tannin. Never the deepest Richebourg but perhaps among the most elegant.

Vinous
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot le Grand Maupertui Grand Cru has an earthier bouquet with touches of wild mint percolating through the transparent red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, velvety smooth, moderate depth though not a complex finish. Yet it is surfeit with charm and like the Echézeaux, will not need an enormous amount of cellaring. (NM)

Like the Ech, a hint of green tea sits atop the earthier and less spicy aromas of various dark berries. The quite supple medium weight flavors possess a relatively refined mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the moderately austere, powerful and solidly complex finish that tightens up noticeably as it sits on the palate.
