Tasting notes
The 2015 Clos Vougeot has an intense and deep colour with garnet hints.
The nose is complex, unveiling aromas of blackcurrant, moka, undergrowth and a floral hint of
violet. On tasting, it is powerful and ample with wonderful tanins, notes of cherry and coffee
with a lot of persistence.

Description
Starting in the XIIth century the Cistercian monks of Citeaux, owners of Clos Vougeot,
cultivated vines here. They built the winery with four oak presses and the large cellar with
capacity for 2000 barrels of wine. In the XVth century the "grand manoir" was built in the
middle of the Clos and in the XIXth century all the buildings were restored by Leonce
Bocquet. Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru in Burgundy with 52 hectares of vines and
over 80 different owners. The Clos itself is subdivided into many different localities.
