1996 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

Norbert says:

The commune of Vougeot owns 52 hectares of Grand Cru Clos Vougeot sites. The history of Vougeot begins with the founding of the Abbey of Citeaux in 1098. Clos Vougeot has always had a reputation like Donnerhall, and not just among insiders. Because they appreciate the fine droplets from the small, picturesque place that is in the limelight worldwide. Without a doubt, the Domaine Faiveley with 1.52 hectares is one of the top producers in the Clos Vougeot. Like the entire current wine elite, the domaine works like the grandfathers' generation, this is about the best possible balance. The incomparable finesse, embedded in power and density, but always with an inimitable elegance. Estimated maturity now until 2030.
