  I’ve enjoyed several ‘02 Drouhins (the Chorey Les Beaune was a little gem of a wine that I went through cases of) but this was my first encounter with the Clos Vougeot: deep dark brooding nose with great purity of dark cherry fruit and crushed stone; no pronounced “Drouhin acidity” that I also often find on their gran crus; still needs several years to unfurl and gain complexity. 92+

  Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner (The Morris, San Francisco): Light ruby. Pretty red fruit, subtle green notes, and light soil with mostly resolved structure. Very elegant Clos Vougeot.

  Elegant, but lacks depth and fruit feels a bit closed down and not particularly expressive. Solid wine but nothing special.

  2002 is not my favorite vintage on the Côte de Nuits as I find most of the wines to be four-square. OTOH, it is the kind of vintage that Drouhin handles well, and this wine provided a pleasant surprise with Clos-Vougeot raspberry fruit, a bit of spice, and some elegance in a medium-weight body. Tannins fully resolved, but still room for upside improvement. Cellared since original release.
