Anne Gros Clos Vougeot 'Le Grand Maupertui' 2020

"This wine may be characterised by its impressive fullness. Its power, sometimes a bit austere and monolithic, is tempered by ripe tannins.

Its weight moves across the tongue with lots of harmony and fullness, even a certain elegance underneath its romanesque character.

Velvet purple colour, it is the archetype of beautiful Pinot Noir. Pronounced aromas of black fruit (ripe cherry, plum and black current…) as well as spice (pepper, cloves, nutmeg…).

A candied element develops as it ages, in addition to complex secondary aromas associated with meaty nuances.

Possibilities for food pairing tend to lean toward richer dishes: roasted red meat with berries or fruit, red meat in sauce, game with sorrel…red currant jam, mild cheeses or nothing at all.

This wine has excellent ageing potential. Nevertheless, according to our believes about great wines, it is often possible to drink the wine while still young when the tannin and structure are at the forefront, essential qualities for balancing a great wine.

Ageing in barrels (40% new oak)" -Winery notes
