The largest grand cru in the Côte de Nuits, Clos de Vougeot covers 50 hectares, with over 100 parcels and around 80 owners. There is enormous diversity here, in terms of terroir, with a wide variety of slopes, aspects, altitudes, drainage and underlying geology. Add to this the differing ages of the vines, methods of cultivation and winemaking, and it becomes clear why there is such a vast range of styles and qualities, all perfectly entitled to the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru label. We regularly emphasise the importance of individual producers in Burgundy and this is particularly true of Clos de Vougeot. We are indeed fortunate to be partners of Château de La Tour and the Labet family
"Here, the vines are over 100 years old and generally yield only 2 - 3 bunches of grapes per vine, which is borne out by the intensity and concentration of the finished wine. This is a beautiful, lustrous colour, a purple ruby. The nose is rather decadent, cassis and mûre, black cherry and violets, with some mineral notes. The palate is richly textured, with abundant, supple, red fruit - a big wine, intensely concentrated but somehow gentle. The finish is vivid, perfumed, long, focused and precise. Splendid.
