Vintage Character Domaine Jean-Marc Millot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a refined, terroir-driven expression of this historic walled vineyard, crafted entirely from Pinot Noir in the coveted Le Grand Maupertui sector. In Burgundy, the 2022 vintage is widely viewed as a very good, ripe year, shaped by a warm, mostly dry growing season that brought healthy yields and generous fruit while still preserving freshness and balance in the best sites.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with layered aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and plum skin, intertwined with violet and a touch of savory reduction, then subtle notes of vanilla, baking spice and cocoa nib. On the palate it is medium-full in body with medium-high acidity and finely woven, medium-high tannins, giving a poised, vertical structure that carries flavors of red and black fruits into a long, elegant finish with forest floor, dried rose, tea leaf and sous-bois complexity. This nuanced Grand Cru is superb with dishes such as roast lamb with herbs, duck breast with cherry jus, or porcini mushroom risotto, and it also pairs beautifully with aged Comté or other firm, nutty Alpine cheeses.
Winery Background Family-run Domaine Jean-Marc Millot, based in Vosne-Romanée, has built a strong reputation for precise, site-transparent Pinot Noir from small parcels across the Côte de Nuits. The domaine’s holding in Clos de Vougeot is tiny—around 0.3 hectares in the upper portion of Le Grand Maupertui—resulting in true micro-production of roughly a couple of thousand bottles in 2022. Millot’s philosophy emphasizes careful viticulture, moderate yields and measured élevage, with oak used to frame, not dominate, the character of each terroir, yielding Grand Cru wines that privilege finesse, purity of fruit and ageworthy but refined tannins, and that clearly reflect their prestigious origins in the heart of the Côte de Nuits.
