Jean-Claude Boisset 2023 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (Bourgogne, France)

This walled vineyard or "clos" once belonged to the monks of Citeaux Abbey. This plot is located in the middle of the Clos de Vougeot (on the Vosne-Romanée side). The soil in the upper part of the clos is a mix of clay and brown gravel soil, and the middle part is also very stony the surface. In the lower part of the vineyard, the soil gets deeper and becomes increasingly rich in clay, which gives firmer structure to the wines. With a beautiful dark garnet color, the first nose reveals intense aromas of roses, raspberries and blackberries associated with toasted notes. On the palate, the freshness attack reveals a powerful, velvety wine with very good persistence!
