Description
Clos Vougeot is a large vineyard (50 hectares – 125 acres) located between Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Joseph Drouhin owns two parcels of land in this fabled vineyard, both on a gentle slope with eastern exposure.
The most glorious and famous of all Burgundy vineyards. The Clos (French for “enclosureâ€) was first planted and walled in the late 12th century by the monks of Citeaux. They built a castle which is today the seat of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.
The ruby ​​color is gorgeous and deepens with age. The aromas are intense and reminiscent of blackberry and wild cherry, while with age they become more complex: undergrowth, truffle, candied fruit. Excellent structure, with refined tannins. It is a perfect example of this ideal of elegance according to Drouhin. Remarkable balance and prolonged persistence of flavors on the palate.
