Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru "Montiotes Hautes" (Red)

Origine

The parcel, with a surface area of 17.54 ares, is located right next to the Château de Clos de Vougeot. The exposure is southeast, at an altitude of 254-255m. The soil is shallow, light brown stony clay over fine silt. The name Vougeot comes from the "Vouge" river, which flows through the village.

Vinification

Vinification is traditional. The harvested grapes are fermented in open vats for between 18-21 days, depending on the year. The grapes undergo 2-3 days cold maceration before the start of fermentation. Pumping-over and cap punching operations ensure that the grape matter is well distributed throughout the wine. After de-vatting, the wines are transferred into 228 litre oak barrels (of which 30% are new each year), where they will spend 15-18 months before being bottled.

Notes de dégustation

Aromas of red fruit, raspberries, plums, cherries, blackcurrants, blackberries, undergrowth and violets. As the wine ages, the bouquet develops aromas of fur, truffles and wild mint.

Mets d'accompagnements

Pairs perfectly with game such as pheasant, partridge or venison. Can also accompany soft cheeses, such as Reblochon, Citeaux or Mont d'Or.
