Production Details The 1.27-hectare plot contained vines planted in 1940, 1974, 1980, 1981 and 2013 and was farmed organically; the sheet notes that organic certification begins with the 2025 vintage, so no certification is claimed for 2022. The proportions of destemmed grapes and whole clusters varied with the vintage. Daily punchdowns accompanied a 19-day vatting period, followed by gravity run-off and slow, gentle pressing. The wine matured for 16 months in French-oak barrels, 60% new.
Tasting Notes Deep ruby; complex fruit, rose and violet aromas with subtle oak; smooth attack, powerful tannins, firm structure and a persistent finish.

Production Details The 1.2669-hectare holding comprised vines planted in 1940, 1974, 1980, 1981 and 2013. Grapes were harvested and sorted by hand; the proportions of destemmed fruit and whole clusters varied with the vintage, and the wine received daily punchdowns. Vatting lasted 19 days, followed by gravity run-off and slow, gentle pressing. Maturation lasted 16–18 months in fine-grained, moderately toasted French-oak barrels: 60% new and 40% one-wine barrels. The producer’s broader 2020 vintage account says its harvest ended on 1 September, without assigning that date specifically to these Clos de Vougeot parcels.
Tasting Notes Deep ruby; complex fruit, rose and violet aromas with subtle oak; smooth attack, powerful tannins, firm structure and a persistent finish.
