Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Frédéric Magnien 2017

The wine

From one of the oldest clos in the Côte de Nuits and created in the 11th century by Cistercian monks, this Pinot Noir was grown in chalk, clay and marl soils. Reputed for his talent, Frédéric Magnien has here crafted a wine sought for its finesse and its fresh underscore. It has a complex bouquet of black fruits, violet, spices and oak, as well as a persistent texture structured by nice tannins.
