Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru

We often evocate in Burgundy: “the round cuvée” because it takes up all the types of soils that we can find on the appellation.

Presentation

Presentation
This diversity of terroirs gives a rich and dense wine, much closer to the roundness and finesse of Vosne-Romanée than the powerful of the classic Clos-Vougeot from the north of the appellation.
The vintage
2442 bottles, 120 magnums and 6 jeroboams have been produced for the vintage 2017.
Location
0.75 ha planted in 1948.
The plot of the estate is located in the southern part of the appellation, at the corner of the wall separating the Echézeaux and Clos-Vougeot.
Terroir
Its originality lies in the length of its rows - 200 meters - on three different soils:
- first a stony soil with an important limestone-clay ratio,
- then a soil with small stones and a high proportion of clay,
- finally a finer soil with clays and silts.

Advice

Tasting
This wine is complex and very precise on the nose, the wine reveals a mix of black fruits, spicy notes and a minty freshness. Peony, leather and licorice notes appear with oxygenation. The palate is silky, the structure is intense and complex with floral notes, hints of tart fruit and a long mineral finish.
