Over three quarters of the village retains Grand Cru status, and a single vineyard at that: Clos de Vougeot (or simply, Clos Vougeot). Its mass—over 50 ha—retains the single name chiefly for historic reasons.\n\nBut today, Clos de Vougeot contains over 80 owners and shows significant soil and slope variations within its boundaries. The top, bordering Musigny and Grands Echezeaux, is calcareous and gravelly on oolitic limestone and exhibits wonderful drainage. The middle sections are limestone, gravel and clay with less of a slope. The lower part has little slant and is mostly made of clay. Historically the diverse parcels were blended but today the abundance of owners means that everyone has his own style. Exploring and understanding them is part of the allure of Clos de Vougeot.\n\nIn general a fine Clos de Vougeot when young will be dense and dark but juicy, with a pronounced austerity, and needs a good ten years to bring it to its full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52609442808175,"sku":"14709","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"denis-mortet-chambolle-musigny-beaux-bruns-2020-750ml","title":"Denis Mortet Chambolle Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 750ML 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n\nChambolle-Musigny wine is produced in the village of Chambolle-Musigny in Côte de Nuits of Burgundy.

It is located on a hill shared between the three villages of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. The appellation covers the lower parts of the Corton hill and includes several subordinate vineyard names, or climats, within the AOC. Because of the size of the AOC and the variability of these climats, it is the rule rather than the exception that the name of the climat is indicated together with that of the Corton AOC, leading to designations such as Corton Clos du Roi and Corton Les Bressandes. Corton is rare in this aspect, as the 'climat' is seldom used for other Grand Cru appellations in Côte d'Or. The AOC was created in 1937.\n\nCorton wines are mostly red (around 95 per cent of the total production in the AOC) and made from the Pinot noir grape, however a smaller quantity of white Corton from Chardonnay is also produced. Around 500,000 bottles a year are produced from the vines.\n\nThe Corton appellation itself is the Côte de Beaune's only Grand Cru appellation for red wine, and is the largest Grand Cru of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Producer Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine Felettig, a decade ago hardly anyone knew this name, and yet Gilbert Felettig’s wines are now considered as some of the finest in Chambolle-Musigny.\n\nGilbert and Christine are the second generations of wine-grower of this relatively young estate. They succeeded their father, Henri Felettig, who created the estate in the 1970s. Former vineyard worker, Henri first inherited 2 hectares of vine in 1965, he then spent most of his life growing the estate. Close to 30 years later Gilbert and Christine were taking over a 9-hectare Domaine.\nToday, the domaine extends from Gevrey-Chambertin to Beaune, via les Hautes Côte de nuits and Beaune, on a total of 13 hectares. The Domaine comprises prestigious appellations such as Grand Cru les Echézeaux and many of the premier crus of Chambolle-Musigny.\n\nUntil recently, much of Felettig’s wine was sold to négociants, including the Dominique Laurent, Olivier Bernstein and Domaine Dujac’s negociant operation, all of whom valued the careful, organic farming of Gilbert. Now, however, Gilbert Felettig has found a style of his own in the winery, and the entire crop is domaine-bottled. The production here is limited with only about 50,000 bottles produced per year.\n\nOver the years Gilbert Felettig has gradually and continuously increased the quality of his wines. Experimentations and changes truly started in 2011 and it is finally the 2013 vintage that marked a breakthrough at this address when Christophe Roumier gladly admitted that Domaine Felettig’s Chambolle-Musigny village was the best expression of Chambolle village of that difficult vintage.  \n\nFelettig wines are traditionally crafted, and very representative of a style of Chambolle. With wine lovers and countless critics singing his praise it comes as no surprise that Gilbert is universally seen as one of the rising stars in Burgundy. And with Gilbert’s daughter, Pauline, starting to get involved at the domaine, the continuation of this estate looks assured and in good hands!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612891574639,"sku":"15296","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"brusset-gigondas-les-hauts-montmirail-2020-750ml","title":"Brusset Gigondas Les Hauts Montmirail 2020 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 20% Mourv?dre, it?s another beautiful, balanced, medium to full-bodied Gigondas in the lineup offering ample fruit (black cherries, blackberries), textbook aromatics of ground herbs and chalky minerality, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish.\" Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDomaine Brusset Description\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThirty year old Laurent Brusset is the intense, perfectionist winemaker at this 52 year old domaine.
