A wine with pronounced minerality expressing earthy notes of fern, moss and truffle, revealing velvety tones of coffee beans and black radish. "From Clos de Vougeot a soul is released, singing praises, adoration, … Spirit". In his 1855 classification, Dr. Jules Lavalle distinguished four outstanding Grands Crus among the red wines of Burgundy: Chambertin, Clos de Bèze, Romanée Conti and Clos de Vougeot. Covering an area of approximately 50 ha, the Clos de Vougeot groups together a considerable variety of terroirs. Established between the 11th and 12th centuries at the behest of the monks of Citeaux Abbey, this walled vineyard is today divided into more than 80 separate plots. These plots of unequal size render it difficult to give an overall characterisation to the appellation. The Domaine's plot is positioned at the juncture between Le Baudes St. Martin, Le Grand Maupertui, Le Marais Bas and the Baudes Hautes. Held as one plot by the family for centuries, this constitutes the Clos Vougeot's golden square. In the gently sloping upper part, above the Bajocian limestone bedrock, the soil is relatively shallow, gravelly and granular in structure. In the middle of the slope the soil is brown and shallow with calcareous gravel, then clay.

Gaston Roupnel: "Is not this sumptuous velvet robe the sensual cloak of voluptuous nudities, delightful and irreverent flesh?".
