Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

The walled heart of Burgundy, where history meets greatness.
Few places in Burgundy carry as much mystique as Clos Vougeot. First planted by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, this 50-hectare walled vineyard is the largest Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits, and perhaps its most storied. Behind its ancient stone walls lies a patchwork of soils and exposures that together produce wines of immense power, structure, and longevity.

Louis Jadot’s Clos Vougeot Grand Cru channels this history into a wine of remarkable gravitas. Deep garnet in colour, it opens with an intense bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and blackberry, layered with earthy truffle, tobacco leaf, and subtle cedar. On the palate, the wine is commanding — full-bodied, structured, and profound — with firm yet polished tannins supporting waves of dark fruit, spice, and mineral complexity. The finish is long and resonant, echoing the strength and elegance of the terroir.

This is a wine for collectors, connoisseurs, and truly special occasions. It is crafted to age gracefully, evolving over decades into ever more complex and captivating expressions. For those in Ireland seeking a bottle that embodies the soul of Burgundy’s Grand Crus, Clos Vougeot is a masterpiece — a wine that is as much about heritage as it is about flavour.

Why we love it:
Because Clos Vougeot is Burgundy’s beating heart — a Grand Cru with centuries of history and an unrivalled reputation. Louis Jadot’s interpretation captures the vineyard’s depth and majesty, making it one of the crown jewels of their collection.
