Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Jadot is the second largest owner within this large and historic Grand Cru. Recent climate change has elevated the stature of the Jadot parcels, with deeper soils capable of retaining moisture and coping with the current annual drought conditions. This is still a wine for aging, with burly tannins and dark fruit and earth flavors, yet in recent years has become much more elegant and focused.

Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
Tasting Note
This wine exhibits dark blue and black fruit cloaked in mossy damp earth nuances. The texture is weighty and dense, with abundant tannins which suggest a long life in the cellar. Once fully integrated this wine blossoms with a broad array of spice, dried flower, candied red fruit and sweet earth notes.
