Tasting Notes
So much power. So much perfume. A grand cru that struts in silk.
This was the wine of the trip. Even as a February 2025 baby, it turned heads, a seductive swirl of floral perfume, dark cherry spice, and smoky savoury undertones. There's richness and grip, yes, but also a silken texture and that line of pure, precise strawberry fruit. It’s the kind of Clos Vougeot that reminds you why this wall-enclosed vineyard is a legend. Bold, complex, yet poised. Like a velvet fist in a velvet glove.

The Plot
The domaine farms just over half a hectare here, with grapes from Musigni (bordering Musigny) and La Garenne - two prized lieux-dits that bring both floral lift and muscular depth. These parcels were once held by Gros Frère et Soeur, traded within the family as the next generation (Mathias and Caroline) took up the torch. The result is a more precise, expressive style. One that carries the weight of tradition, but dances with a lighter step.
Technical Details
Fermentation was carried out with 70% whole bunches, enhancing aromatic lift and adding structure. The wine is then aged using a 50/50 split between ceramic and oak barrels, with no more than 20% new oak used. Ceramic vessels are chosen for their neutrality, allowing for a purer, more elegant expression of this iconic terroir. The result is a Clos Vougeot that combines muscular depth with aromatic finesse, and that promises graceful aging without excess wood influence.

Our Take

It’s a total cliché for a Grand Cru to steal the show… but there’s a reason they’re Grand Cru. This was the knockout bottle from our February tastings, a punchy masterpiece that somehow balances elegance with drive. It’s spicy, structured, and full of energy. Just the kind of wine that reminds you why Burgundy is Burgundy.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
This will benefit from time in the cellar. You can open it now if you enjoy youthful energy, but patience should bring more depth, harmony and complexity.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
