Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

Cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry as well as the tang of ocean breeze in the nose of Mortet’s 2008 Clos Vougeot lead to a continuation of salt-infused dark berries on a palate possessed of refined tannins and infectious juiciness. Admirable purity of fruit is sustained through a long, exuberant finish. What I don’t detect here is the sort of carnal depth I expect to find prominent from this cru, although a faint, peat-like smokiness as well as subtle toastiness and spiciness from barrel add nuance. Those especially enamored of singularly fruity Burgundian Pinot will find this even more satisfying than my score suggests. It ought certainly to hold up well for at least a decade, and let’s see on the way what sort of additional complexity if any it picks up. To give you an example of Mortet’s approach this year, he performed only three pigeages in the fermentative life of this Clos Vougeot, whose fruit was as usual the first harvested of the vintage. He was, he says, very conscious of trying to achieve a wine of finesse and buoyancy. Rating 90-91. -David Schildknecht-

Vinous:

(malo finished since August) Good bright, dark red. Black cherry, blackberry and licorice on the nose, along with a wild gamey element. Wonderfully silky and sweet, already showing expressive flavors of black fruits and dark chocolate. Not at all a rustic Clos Vougeot. Mortet is picking these vines riper and practicing a gentler extraction, and the result is a more elegant style of Clos Vougeot. Rating 90-93/100. -Stephen Tanzer-

Winespectator:

This is juicy, with blackberry, boysenberry and pomegranate flavors converging on the firm tannins. There's acidity too, giving this a lean, austere profile by the finish. The sweet fruit prevails, so be patient. Drink Date 2015-2032. Rating 91/100. -BS-
