Terroir

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is one of the most iconic vineyards of Burgundy, enclosed by its famous stone walls. The vineyard’s clay-limestone soils provide excellent drainage and promote deep-rooted vines, giving the Pinot Noir both structure and finesse, as well as great aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant garnet red color. The nose is complex and elegant, with aromas of ripe red berries, black cherry, violet, forest floor, and delicate spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and silky, with refined tannins, juicy fruit, and a long, harmonious finish marked by minerality and subtle oak.

A distinguished Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, combining power, elegance, and aging potential — a true reflection of this legendary Burgundy terroir.

Pairing

Perfect with duck breast, roasted quail, beef Wellington, or aged cheeses like Époisses or Comté.
