Fill level: This lot comprises two bottles of 1985 vintage Clos de Vougeot produced by Jean Grivot from the Clos de Vougeot appellation in Burgundy.

This vineyard is the heart of Burgundy, not only in terms of wine, but also in terms of cultural heritage: set up by the Cistercian monks of Cîteaux in the twelfth century, Clos de Vougeout is today cultivated by more than eighty vintners that take care of their small parcels of land with great pride. The vineyard spans more than fifty hectares and exhibits diverse soil properties: the upper region is more strongly characterized by fossilized chalk, whilst the lower part coonsists of deep clay. The Pinot noir has Grand Cru status, whilst the Chardonnay white wine is classified as Premiere Cru.

The elegance of the wines produced in this old cultivated landscape in the heart of Europe is founded on its topographic, geological and climatic disposition. The Burgundy vineyards lie at an intersection: it is where the restrained warmth of the South meets the cool crispness of the North. Due to this, the grapes can develop complexity at full maturity and still don’t lose their natural freshness. This is not only true for the white Burgundy, grown from Chardonnay, but also the red Burgundy, made from Pinot noir. What makes Burgundy an exceptional wine-growing region, however, are the small, rural configurations that have caused generations of vintners to intensively grapple with the small parcels of vine-growing land in attempts to cultivate sublime wines. This continuity over centuries is brought to fruition in all of the finest Burgundy wines.

The 1985 vintage Grivot Clos de Vougeot was awarded 88 points by Robert Parker in 1990.
