Clos Vougeot 2023

Clos Vougeot is a Grand Cru vineyard located in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, France. The wine is produced by the esteemed domaine Mugneret-Gibourg, known for its traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques.

The wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, the signature red grape variety of Burgundy.

Mugneret-Gibourg employs traditional Burgundian winemaking methods including manual harvesting, careful sorting of grapes, and fermentation in open wooden vats. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to develop complexity and structure. The aging period typically lasts around 18 to 24 months, allowing the wine to mature while preserving its varietal character.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with garnet hues.
• Aroma: Complex bouquet featuring red and black fruits such as cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle notes of earth, spice, and hints of oak.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish. Flavors echo the nose with ripe fruit, mineral undertones, and elegant spice.

This wine pairs excellently with:

• Roasted or grilled red meats such as beef or lamb
• Game dishes including venison and duck
• Mature cheeses like Comté or aged Gruyère
• Earthy mushroom dishes and truffle-infused recipes
