Joseph Drouhin - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru - 2020 | French Red Wine

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a monovarietal Pinot Noir red wine from the appellation of Clos Vougeot, produced by Joseph Drouhin.

Clos Vougeot is a large vineyard (50 hectares - 125 acres) located bewteen Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Joseph Drouhin owns two parcels in this mythical vineyard, both on a mild incline with a due east exposure. History & tradition: the most glorious and famous of all Burgundy vineyards. The Clos (French for "enclosure") was first planted and surrounded by a wall at the end of the 12th Century by the monks of Citeaux. They built a castle which is now the seat of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. The soil is very diverse and a true mosaic, a mix of clay and limestone in various proportions.
