General Information
The variety of soils in Clos de Vougeot—gravel and limestone at the top of the slope, and soil, marl, and clay at the bottom—imbues great complexity and power to the pinot noir that stars solo in Bouchard Père & Fils Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017.
This elegant and velvety red, with delicate aromas of berries and spices, originates from a vineyard planted in 1110 by Cistercian monks. The enclosed area housing the vines spans 50 hectares and is shared by 80 different owners. Bouchard Père & Fils, a historic Burgundy winery, is one of them, owning 0.45 hectares from which this magnificent pinot noir is born, one of their most exclusive labels.
The exceptional quality of the grapes and the meticulous craftsmanship, hallmark of the maison Bouchard Père & Fils, ensures that this Bouchard Père & Fils Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017, brought to you by the Club, is an exceptional red wine, already at its peak, which will age splendidly for another 10 to 20 years. Its ideal pairing includes red meats, especially roasted or in sauce, small game dishes, and medium-aged cheeses.
Tasting notes
Complex nose of black and red berries complemented by a spicy touch.
