France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Vougeot Grand Cru Rouge
This 50 hectare clos (walled vineyard) was created by the Monks of Cîteaux. Their cellar was located in the Château du Clos Vougeot, which is now the headquarters of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.
The soil has a large clay content, which accounts to the powerful, well-structured wines that have a rustic side when very young.
Very beautiful dark ruby red. Deep purple disc. Very complex, with both floral notes (rose petals) and notes of small berries (raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry), as well as sweet spices (vanilla). Dense texture, complemented by a flavourful and digest fruitiness (berries), and by fleshy, fresh, and spicy tannins.
