PRE-ORDER
Winemaker Notes
A refined bouquet of black cherry, red plum, and dark currant, accented by notes of rose, earth, and a distinct sauvage or "farmyard" character. The palate is noted as being one of the "fleshiest and most corpulent" versions of Clos Vougeot, featuring a medium-bodied yet succulent entry with firm, youthfully austere tannins and a mineral streak.
About Winery
Domaine Michel Gros's Clos de Vougeot "Le Grand Maupertuis" is a, prestigious 0.2-hectare Grand Cru parcel located in the top section of the Clos near Grands Échezeaux. Acquired by Jean Gros in 1967 for his son Michel, the vines were replanted in 1987 after a severe frost. It is known for producing elegant, silky, and deeply structured Pinot Noir, with Pierre Gros taking over in 2019.
