Clos Vougeot

Founded by Antoine-Vincent Legrand, Field Marshall to Napoleon. The Clos Frantin is situated in the "Grand Crus" region of the Cote D'Or. Bordering the famous "La Tache" vineyard, the Clos Frantin is the proud owner of almost two hectares of premier cru "Les Malconsorts" in Vosne-Romanee (12 x 75 cl)

Alain Meunier and his wife, Sophie own this 7 hectare vineyard estate based at Premaux-Prissey, south of Nuits, additionally they have vineyard holdings in many parts of the Cotes de Nuits. Attention to detail and a passion for their work has produced wines with an exciting and enviable reputation. The grapes are grown organically and, to maximise the fruit, all the grapes are de-stemmed before vinification. These are powerful, rich wines that are bottled early to protect their intense, concentrated fruit. The wines are only racked before bottling, so there is 15-18 months of extended lees contact. The grand crus are aged in 100% new French oak, and the premier crus in 80%. The Domaine owns vines in a perfect part of the Clos Vougeot vineyard and makes one of the greatest examples of this appellation. Firm, chewy and dark ripe fruit, a full and defined structure with plenty of ripe tannins to balance the great long finish. Big, roasted nose combines ripe cherry, chocolate, licorice, mint and spicy oak. Large-scaled, fat, rich and sweet, with a mouthfilling texture. Low in acidity but seemed to grow fresher with air. Finishes rather suave, with considerable chocolatey oak and very good aromatic persistence. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 2004 (6 x 75 cl)

Clos Vougeot because two thirds of the wine comes from the top of the hill always has an elegant red fruit sense. Alex Gambal is a Virginian by birth who fell in love with Burgundy and created his own negociant house in 1997 (6 x 75 cl)
