The wine region of Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Largest Grand Cru of the Cote de Nuits (51 ha walled) in 100% Pinot Noir: powerful, colourful reds with deep robe, floral bouquet (rose, violet, mignonette) then red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry), wild mint, liquorice and truffle with age. Elegant attack, ample structure, fine and silky tannins, ageing 10-30 years. Vineyard fragmented into 100 plots and 80+ owners, varying quality between top, middle and lower slopes. Medieval Cistercian icon.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
