Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

Wild blackberry and black cherry meet plum, undergrowth and a light touch of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and concentrated, with grainy tannins, fresh acidity and fine weight giving the dark fruit clear structure. A restrained earthy note adds savoury depth before the persistent finish. Decant for an hour and serve with duck, goose, venison or mushroom dishes.

Red and dark fruit unfold across a refined, lace-like texture, with savoury spice and a mineral line bringing definition. The domaine's upper-Clos parcel sits directly below the château, where shallow, stony soils and mature vines contribute depth without sacrificing finesse. Long and composed, this mature Grand Cru suits duck, game or mushrooms; storage and bottle condition remain especially important for an older vintage.
