Clos De Vougeot Rouge Grand Cru "Les Baudes Basses" 2023 | Wine from Pierre-Olivier Garcia Estate

The Pierre-Olivier Garcia Estate, although young, has quickly established itself as a major player in the creation of great Burgundy wines. Already recognized for its Corton since 2017, the estate is taking on a new challenge by producing a Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, with grapes from prestigious plots located at the border of the Domaine Leroy vineyards. The estate's precise and innovative winemaking, particularly the berry-by-berry method, gives its wines remarkable elegance and subtlety.

This Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2023 comes from the sites Baudes Basses and Baudes Hautes, located south of Clos de Vougeot. The plot benefits from deep limestone soils, offering an exceptional minerality and beautiful aromatic freshness. The estate's innovative approach relies on a hybrid vinification, consisting of 25% destemmed berries, 50% berry-by-berry, and 25% whole clusters, promoting a light extraction and incomparable aromatic finesse.
