2016 Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Clos Vougeot #187238728
750ml
Reviews 90-92 points Wine Advocate "It has a refined, effortless bouquet with perfumed strawberry and raspberry fruit laced with wilted rose petals and quince. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannin, quite linear and correct, attenuating slightly toward the brisk, stony finish. (NM)" 91-94 points Burghound "A very mild floral hint adds elegance to the ripe red berry fruit and distinctly earth-inflected nose that is trimmed in just enough wood to mention. There is excellent richness to the impressively scaled and overtly powerful broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine balance and focus on the lingering and youthfully austere finale. (AM)"
