Clos Vougeot Domaine d'Eugenie 2017 (1.5L)

92-94 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Aromas of orange rind, raspberries and cassis mingle with savory nuances of espresso roast, dark chocolate and grilled squab, introducing the 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, a full-bodied, multidimensional wine with good concentration, succulent acids and rich but satiny structuring tannins that concludes with a long and nicely defined finish. This is a very promising wine from Domaine d'Eugénie that I'd expect to land at the upper end of my banded score." 1/19

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is matured with 60% whole bunches, in around 85% new oak. This boasts the best aromatics of the domaine's range of 2017s, a very detailed mélange of red and black fruit with subtle floral aromas. The pure palate is medium-bodied with silky-smooth tannin, fine depth, superb mineralité and a precise, complex finish. This is the standout from d'Eugénie this year, thanks to the energy already tangible from barrel." 1/19

92-95 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "Like the Brûlées, the nose is firmly reduced and unreadable today. Otherwise there is excellent vivacity to the equally big-bodied and powerful flavors that also possess excellent mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a succulent but entirely serious youthfully austere finish that is quite firmly structured. Over the last few years the Clos de Vougeot appears to have taken over the crown as the best wine in the range and it appears poised to do so again in 2017." 1/19
