The family own 1.2 hectares of Clos de Vougeot positioned in three different spots, which makes for a super representation of this large Grand Cru site. A focus on red fruits, tayberry and cranberry, with initial careful restraint. This feeling of reserve makes for a very thoughtful Grand Cru. It builds on the palate, with some gravelly tannic intensity ahead of the concentrated fruit which coats the mouth. Rewardingly fresh on the finish, a great ambassador for the wines of this famous Clos.

The 2021 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru comes from plots at the top and bottom of the famous climat, though those located at the bottom tend to accumulate water in a wet vintage. Consequently, the nose is pleasant but light with airy red berry fruit that lack the complexity of the previous vintage. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a bit lean on the entry that never quite recovers, just deprived of the substance by the malevolent growing season. Drink 2024-2034
Pale but pretty colour. Light fruit on the nose. Spared from the frost, and as is typical of such cuvees in 2021, the wine feels more complete – in fact, displaying a particularly long finish. This avoids also the blocky side of Clos Vougeot, showing instead a rather fine fresh but light strawberry fruit. One could almost suggest that it is ethereal for this appellation! Drink from 2030-2038.
Clos de Vougeot is a Grand Cru appellation situated in the heart of the Cote de Nuits producing only red wines from the Pinot Noir grape. The vines are enclosed within a single walled vineyard built by monks in the 12th and 14th Centuries. With 47.54 hectares under vine Clos de Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru vineyard in the Cote d'Or.
