"The late Philippe Engel seemed to do no wrong in this vintage, as this exquisite 2002 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru will testify. There is immense precision and detail on the nose, a sense of symmetry that is translated through to the palate. There is a brightness to the mineral-rich wild strawberry and cranberry fruit. The palate echoes a Vosne-Romanée Malconsort in terms of structure, symmetrical, surfeit with poise and sophistication. What a wonderful Clos de Vougeot! This is utterly sublime."
