Description
This is from two parcels, with one hectare by the château and half a hectare by the road, harvested on 1st and 6th September, respectively. This is a more discrete expression of this terroir because the vineyard team work hard to manage this aspect. It is still chunky on the bottom of the palate, but with a quite a lot of florality.

Critics reviews
The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is very tight on the nose and has a tough time following the more expressive Corton Clos du Roi. It feels bashful and sultry. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly obdurate tannins, a bit static, with more flesh needed toward the finish. A bit over-awed by other cuvées from Vougeraie.
Drink 2026 - 2036
Fruit from the plot in the upper part of the Clos retains 50% of the stems, while the lower block is destemmed. A very light reduction. An attractive balanced red fruit, along with some chocolate notes, and Sylvie suggests a little tobacco which I can now see. A good thread of acidity throughout, not especially demonstrative despite the nuances.
Drink 2032 - 2040
