100% Pinot Noir.

Colour: A deep cherry red.

Nose: An intensely aromatic bouquet combining concentrated perfumes of red and black fruits (cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants..).

Palate: Expressive, round and muscular with a beautiful aromatic intensity.. A fine balance is achieved between mellow tannins and a discreet acidity. Their solid structure and length make them excellent wines for laying down.

It will be the ideal companion for fine meats marinated or cooked in sauce, large and small game, goose or duck confit, well-made cheeses and even, for dessert, a dark chocolate cake.

To be enjoyed, by decanting it one hour before serving, at a temperature of 16 to 18°C.

In good conditions, this great wine will keep for 7 to 15 years.

Clos de Vougeot is and will always be much more than just a wine. This appellation is a the standard bearer, the emblem of the whole Côte d’ Or...

The measurements of this vineyard alone are enough to make it exceptional with over 50,59 ha of Grand Cru vines, including 49,13 ha exclusively dedicated to the Pinot Noir. The clos slopes up from the main road, extending up to the base of the butte. Altitude is of no great importance here, varying from 240 to 270 metres.

The upper part of the enclosure is made of a mixture of clay and brown gravel, then the middle part is also very stony on the surface. Finally, in the lower part, the soils are increasingly clayey and deep, giving the wines a firmer structure.

Hand-picked, the grapes are sorted in the vineyard and then again in the winery on a table. The grapes are then 100% de-stemmed but not crushed, so they are placed whole in vats by gravity. Maceration lasts around three weeks, with regular punching down of the cap. No oenological products (such as yeasts, enzymes or tannins) are added, so as not to alter this precious terroir. The wine is aged for 15 months in barrels without racking and without new barrels.

The Weather : Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
