The one from Château de Marsannay plays on straightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Clos de Vougeot covers some fifty hectares between the route des Grands Crus and the main road, which makes it the largest red Grand Cru of the Côte de Nuits. Three sets of soils follow one another, from stony, very free draining gravels at the top of the clos to heavier clays towards the bottom. The style therefore varies a great deal from one owner to another. The upper and middle sectors, the best exposed, give solid and fleshy Pinot Noir, built on a serious tannic frame and long cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the most recent vintages of the cuvée, all vintages combined. The 2023 vintage obtained 95\/100 from Bettane \u0026amp; Desseauve. The 2022 was rated 94\/100 by Jasper Morris, 93\/100 with a silver medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards, and 92\/100 by Allen Meadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau de Marsannay\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the route des Grands Crus, at the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits. It belongs to the same owner as Château de Meursault and farms 40 hectares under organic agriculture, 28 of them on the best terroirs of Marsannay. Its jewels lie elsewhere: four Grands Crus, Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot and Echezeaux, and Premiers Crus from Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Bourgogne, Côte de Nuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Marsannay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl, magnum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep and dense ruby, rim still slightly purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black fruits, peony, fresh leather, sweet spices and a truffled note on opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleshy and broad, firm tannins that soften on the finish, fine balance between density and freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru at 15 to 17 °C.

The top of the clos, stony and free draining, does not give the same wine as the bottom, which is more clayey and damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould it be decanted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes on a young vintage: one to two hours in a decanter release its fruit and soften its tannins. Beyond fifteen years, prefer to serve it straight, uncorking the bottle shortly before the meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a magnum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magnum holds 150 cl, the equivalent of two bottles. The ratio between the volume of wine and the surface in contact with air is more favourable, which slows evolution and gives wines that are often fresher at the same age. It is also the format for large tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France on orders from 300 €.
