- PhilosophyCulture and heritage. Created by the monks of the Cîteaux Abbey be- ginning in 1109, the Clos de Vougeot vineyard and its famed château, one of Burgundy’s most emblematic monuments, bear witness to the monks’ ground-breaking work in establishing viticulture in Burgundy. The lar- gest Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits, entirely surrounded by walls be- longs, in a certain manner of speaking, to all the local residents who go there regularly to attend events organized by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin brotherhood
- TerroirClos de Vougeot is one of today’s most sought-after appellations where approximately 51 ha of vines are divided among 80 owners. The two plots the grapes for our cuvée are located: to the west at the top of the walled vineyard (“Les Petits Maupertuis”), and to the north at mid-slope (“Les Dix Journaux”). Here, the limestone-based shallow soils at the top of the Clos become deeper and more clayey, yielding wines that are very elegant, yet also boasting great richness and depth.
- Vinification and ageingThe grapes were handpicked and sorted a first time in the vineyard and a second time at the winery. They were carefully selected and vinified with a significant proportion of whole bunches of grapes (70%). Vinification was punctuated by careful daily crushing to keep the stems intact. The wine is aged for 18 months with a proportion of 40% new oak from the forests of the Chatillon region (very finely-grained oak trees that grow very slowly).
- Tasting notesGorgeous dark red in colour. The intense yet airy nose is redolent of dense masculine scents of oak, musk, cedar, incense, pepper and clove, notes of f lowers (violet) and blue fruit ( juniper, blueberry), a hint of Amsterdamer tobacco, and bark. A fresh, intense start to the palate, yet dense and powerful at the same time. Nuances of earth and pebbles surface followed by f lavours of fruit and cherries, rounded out with a hint of peppermint. This is a remarkably lovely, powerful wine that boasts elegance, finesse and nice balance. Heady on the finish with a saline note and nuances of orange peel and liquorice.
