WINE DESCRIPTION

Frédéric Magnien Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the historic and prestigious Clos de Vougeot vineyard in Burgundy, France. The wine is produced by Frédéric Magnien, a fifth-generation winemaker who sources grapes from organic and biodynamic growers and vinifies them with minimal intervention. The vineyard is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, on a gentle slope with limestone gravel and clay soils. The wine is aged in French oak barrels. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of black cherry, raspberry, violet and spice. It is full-bodied and complex on the palate, with silky tannins and a long finish. This wine pairs well with beef dishes, such as charolais beef paste confit in red wine sauce. It can also be enjoyed with game, lamb and cheese after some years of aging.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Frédéric Magnien Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a deep and intense red wine, with a complex nose of dark fruits, hints of licorice, and a light floral touch.On the palate, it has powerful tannins, yet a soft and velvety texture. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of blackberry and bitter chocolate. This is a wine of remarkable depth and complexity, and should be savored with a special occasion.
