Terroir

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 his a large clay content, which accounts to the powerful, well-structured wines that have a rustic side when very young.

Vinification

The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted, 45% whole grapes and the rest destemmed.. The wine stayed on the skins for 19 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged entirely in oak barrels. Duration of barrel ageing : 21 months

Tasting Notes

COLOR: Dark ruby red. NOSE: Complex, floral touches, rose petals, green pepper notes evolving into very fresh menthol-gloss notes. PALATE: Tasty and juicy, with fresh black fruit and very spicy notes. Dense finish with rich, sapid tannins.
