Alain Michelot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021
Vintage Character
Alain Michelot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 comes from the Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot designation in Bourgogne. Spring frost and unsettled weather tested the vines, while rain from late June into early August increased disease pressure. Dry conditions and a north wind from mid-August then aided ripening; Pinot Noir generally preceded Chardonnay at harvest. Smaller crops and a return to more typical September picking dates distinguish this cooler year from the warmer seasons around it. For Pinot Noir from Clos de Vougeot, the season puts acidity and tannin texture in dialogue with red-fruit ripeness. In the enclosed Clos de Vougeot grand cru, expect greater depth and a firmer frame.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This Pinot Noir puts cherry, raspberry and violet ahead of gentle spice and earth, with oak in a supporting role. On the palate it is dry and medium in body, with fine, medium tannin and medium-high acidity giving the Clos de Vougeot fruit a fresh frame. The finish is long and layered, with forest floor and dried flowers adding depth as the wine ages. Try it with duck breast and lentils, or glazed duck with mild spices; the fine tannin and medium-high acidity suit these dishes without overpowering them.
Winery Background
Domaine Alain Michelot has been developed by four generations since 1880 and farms about 8 hectares in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis and Clos de Vougeot. Quality and authenticity are the domaine's stated aims. Élodie Michelot, Alain's daughter, now runs winemaking, and the wines are raised in French oak barrels for roughly 15 to 18 months depending on the cuvée. Here, the Clos de Vougeot grand cru shows that family approach on the family's parcel in the walled vineyard, farmed since 2010.
