2022 CLOS VOUGEOT 'GRAND MAUPERTUIS' 750 ml

Description

Discover the 2022 Clos Vougeot 'Grand Maupertuis' from Domaine Michel Gros, a storied family estate in Vosne-Romanée, France, tracing its roots to 1830. Now under the guidance of sixth-generation winemaker Michel Gros, this producer crafts expressions that echo their noble origins through careful vineyard care.

Hailing from a select 0.20-hectare plot in the legendary Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, this Pinot Noir embodies the site's profound character. In 2022, Burgundy's growing season unfolded with a cool spring giving way to warmer mid-April days, fostering vigorous vines. June showers brought relief from dry spells, securing solid fruit development, while a hot, arid summer prompted an early harvest starting September 3rd. The result captures ripe balance, vibrant freshness, and promising evolution over time.

Picture a deep ruby color that hints at its concentrated core. Scents unfold in captivating layers—black cherry and red plum mingle with subtle flowers, grounded by earthiness and a whisper of menthol. On the tongue, it strikes a poised medium body with commanding presence: dark currant and plum ripple through, framed by polished tannins and a vivid mineral thread. The finish pulls tight, inviting patience or immediate curiosity.

Bring this wine to the table alongside hearty fare like beef tenderloin, duck confit, or venison stew. Its layered depth mirrors the savory boldness of such plates, turning meals into memorable events. Whether you're building a cellar standout or seeking a Burgundy treasure for tonight, the 2022 Clos Vougeot 'Grand Maupertuis' delivers the pedigree of Clos Vougeot in a bottle ready to impress. Sourced from France's Burgundy heartland at 13% ABV in 750 ml, it's a red wine gem for discerning palates.
