Product details
Domaine Jean-Marc Millot Clos Vougeot Grand Maupertui Grand Cru 2016 is a remarkable expression from Domaine Jean-Marc Millot, rooted in one of Burgundy’s most historic sites. The Clos Vougeot vineyard traces its origins to 1111, when the monks of Abbaye de Cîteaux planted Pinot Noir on these revered lands, shaping the early concept of terroir. Enclosed by stone walls in the 14th century, Clos Vougeot remains one of the largest and most storied Grand Crus in the Côte de Nuits. The Grand Maupertui parcel, located near the château and below Grands Echézeaux, benefits from gently sloping eastern exposure and complex soils—gravelly and stony in the upper հատված, transitioning to more clay-rich layers below. The 2016 vintage reflects meticulous vineyard care and patient maturation, producing a structured, age-worthy Burgundy of depth, concentration, and noble character.
Deep ruby in color, this Grand Maupertui reveals intense aromas of dark red berries, black cherry, and subtle spice layered with a refined roasted nuance. The palate is powerful yet poised, driven by firm, mature tannins of exceptional quality that provide impressive structure for long aging. Concentration and mineral precision define the core, while vibrant freshness lifts the richly fruited and spiced profile. Persistent and complex, the finish unfolds gradually, rewarding patience and careful cellaring. A classic expression of Clos Vougeot, this 2016 captures both grandeur and finesse in a truly distinguished Grand Cru.
