Product details
The Domaine Jean Grivot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 exemplifies the elegance and sophistication of the vintage, offering a classic expression of Pinot Noir. While the harvest was small, the quality of the fruit was exceptional, resulting in fresh, vigorous wines with juicy, sappy fruit at their core. This Grand Cru showcases a powerful and full-bodied character in its youth, making it an excellent companion to roasted meats. Over time, it evolves into a refined, velvety wine with captivating aromas of violets and earthy truffle, demonstrating its remarkable aging potential.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wine is a testament to the estate's commitment to preserving the purity of the fruit. Hand-harvested grapes are gently handled, with minimal intervention during fermentation to achieve a balance of infusion rather than extraction. The wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new, imparting subtle complexity without overshadowing the fruit. After careful blending and aging on the lees, the Clos de Vougeot 2021 is bottled without fining or filtration, ensuring a pristine and authentic representation of the terroir. This wine is a masterful expression of Burgundy’s finest traditions.
