Description
These vines are high up by the famous Bize whites of Vougeot. Once again there is excellent depth of colour here. This year there were larger berries with more delicate skins and a notable difference in the concentration of fruit from older vines, so more of that was saved for this cuvee, which is super persistent, focussed and with sweet, black fruit notes. It reminds me very much of tasting Philippe Engel’s Vosne from the cuve! 2025 to 2032
Producer Information: Christian Clerget
The first time I met Christian he was in a hurry to catch a plane to Nepal and climb the 7th or 8th highest peak in the world. Fortunately his wife Isabelle and daughter Justine are equal parts
of a wonderful family who strive to express what their vineyards offer. As Christian says, ‘don’t try to cheat the vines’.
Justine is in charge now though and starting to make her mark. She is forging ahead with biodynamics and using whole bunch fermentation for almost a third of the harvest.
