COLLECTION GRANDS CRUS

CLOS DE VOUGEOT
Grand Cru

Clos de Vougeot is a wine of harmony—rounded, ample, fleshy, structured, and elegant, with a deep red color verging on dark ruby.

Its bouquet is remarkably intense, blending rich red and black fruit (cherry, blackberry, cassis) with vanilla, spice, underbrush, violet, and, with age, hints of fur.

On the palate, it is generous and full-bodied, with fine tannins, gentle acidity, and a long aromatic finish.

A PERSONAL REFLECTION

domaine mongeard mugneret clos de vougeot ombre

Terroir, ORIGIN,
and identity

Clos de Vougeot has 17 different types of soil, classified into 4 main groups: soils resulting from the alteration of limestone, soils from the alteration of marl formations, soils formed through the alteration of alluvial deposits and soils created by colluvial processes.

Despite this pedological diversity, which is observed on a very local scale, certain properties are present on all the Grand Cru’s soils. Generally, Clos de Vougeot’s vineyard soils are mainly clay and silty-clay, thin to very thick, with low to high stoniness, which contributes to a very high variability in useful water reserves.

Our two parcels, Chioures and Petit Maupertui, situated in the upper half of the Clos and with a total area of 62a 59ca, benefit from an excellent diversity of terroirs. The first one, located in the lieu-dit Chioures, has no less than 3 different great soils, while the second, Petit Maupertui, counts 2. The soils composing our plots, mostly thin, chalky and clayey, are the result of different types of alterations: either fine limestone, a marly formation, or coarse chalky alluvium.
