The Forey Père et Fils Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 is a striking example of the power and complexity that defines this historic vineyard. Clos Vougeot, a Grand Cru steeped in Burgundian heritage, is renowned for its ability to produce wines of grandeur and nuance. Régis Forey, the fourth generation at the helm of Forey Père et Fils, employs traditional methods and a deep respect for terroir, resulting in wines that faithfully reflect the unique characteristics of their origins. The 2021 vintage, marked by cooler conditions, produced wines of remarkable elegance, vibrancy, and clarity.

On the nose, this Clos Vougeot presents an intricate bouquet of blackberries, black cherries, and red plums, complemented by floral notes of violets and hints of savory herbs. Subtle layers of spice, earth, and cedar contribute to its aromatic depth. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity that adds lift and precision. The wine’s mineral-driven backbone and persistent finish underscore the unique qualities of its limestone-rich terroir.

This wine is a natural pairing for dishes such as roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or wild mushroom tart. While accessible in its youth with proper decanting, it will reward extended cellaring over the next 10–15 years, developing even greater complexity and refinement. The Forey Père et Fils Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 is a compelling representation of one of Burgundy’s most storied vineyards, reflecting the craftsmanship and dedication of a domaine steeped in tradition.
