Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This 125-acre Grand Cru vineyard faces east on a range of soils, from chalky and stony clay on the higher parts of the slope to moist, rich, compact soils on the lower slope. Jadot owns just over 5 acres of the Clos. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented for up to 4 weeks in tanks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 18 months.
Harvest Note
This was a very warm and dry vintage with a few violent storms. Production volumes were reduced, however quality within the red wines is very high.
Tasting Note
Light-bodied red with hints of candied strawberry and cherry, plus dusty tannins and hints of spice at the finish.

About the Grape
Pinot Noir
In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
