Joseph Drouhin Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017

Clos Vougeot is a large vineyard (50 hectares - 125 acres) located bewteen Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Joseph Drouhin owns two parcels in this mythical vineyard, both on a mild incline with a due east exposure.

Grape Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir 

Wine Region: Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: A revelation and a true wonder! The ruby red colour is magnificent and takes on a deeper hue with age. The aromas are intense and evoke raspberry and wild cherry, becoming more complex with age: undergrowth, truffle, candied fruit. A sublime structure, with refined tannins. It is a perfect example of this ideal of elegance according to Drouhin. A remarkable balance and a lingering persistence of flavours on the palate. It is a wine that always leaves the greatest impression.

Food Pairings: Grilled Salmon
