Vinous, 95-97 Points 

"The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a crystalline bouquet with ethereal red fruit, mashed limestone and hints of crushed violet that blossom in the glass.  The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine structured and certainly the most concentrated of Mugneret-Gibourg’s cuvees.  Hints of kirsch and dark chocolate towards the finish.  Just a gorgeous Clos Vougeot to cherish for two decades."  

Decanter, 96 Points 

"TOP QUALITY This graceful, elegant wine begins quietly. It is slightly closed on the initial attack, and there is a bit of reduction that wasn't present in the other wines, but the palate opens with super-ripe cassis fruit, notes of violets and earth, leading to a supple and fairly dense structure with firm tannins and a persistent finish. The wine comes from a small parcel of 0.3ha around the château, bought by Dr Georges Mugneret in 1953. Completely destemmed and gently fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (70% new)."
