Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2014.
This wine is the epitome of great Burgundy: supple, sumptuous with great depth and complexity and a wonderful fragrance.
VINEYARDS: The village of Vougeot is in the centre of the Côte de Nuits, flanked on the north by Chambolle Musigny and on the south by Flagey Echezeaux and Vosne Romanée. The 50 ha vineyard faces the east. The geological composition ranges from chalky, stony clay on the higher parts of the slope, to moist, compact soil richer in humus and with fewer stones on the lower slopes. Maison Louis Jadot is the second owner of the Clos Vougeot vineyard with a bit more than 2 hectares.
VINTAGE: Conditions for 2014 started well before a violent hailstorm in June hit several communes in the Mâcon and Côte d'Or with devastating effects. Summer then continued to be unsettled but a period of dry weather in September returned the available grapes to good health and the grapes were harvested from 11th September onwards.
WINEMAKING: The fermentation takes place in tanks for 3 to 4 weeks. The wine is then aged in barrel for 18 months before bottling.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
- Beautiful with roast game or ripe cheese such as camembert
