"Starting in the XIIth century the Cistercian monks of Citeaux, owners of Clos Vougeot, cultivated vines here. They built the winery with four oak presses and the large cellar with capacity for 2000 barrels of wine. In the XVth century the "grand manoir" was built in the middle of the Clos and in the XIXth century all the buildings were restored by Léonce Bocquet. Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru in Burgundy with 52 hectares of vines and over 80 different owners. The Clos itself is subdivided into many different localities.
Our 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a magnificent ruby colour and emanates raspberry, liquorice and nutmeg aromas. It is ample on the palate with powerful tannins and notes of black cherry and chocolate. Beautiful aromatic persistence on the finish.
Have it with game, rib-eye steak, roasted lamb, veal with morels and mature cheeses."

"A sleek and silky red, featuring cherry, black currant, floral and mineral flavors. Turns even more austere midpalate through the finish, with terrifc intensity and a long, well-delineated aftertaste, which echoes the fruit and mineral notes and picks up sweet spice accents. Shows superb length and finesse. Best from 2026 through 2047."
