Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot 2022

Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot 2022 is a refined expression of one of Burgundy’s most storied Grand Cru vineyards. This red Burgundy combines purity of fruit with depth and structure, capturing the elegance and power Clos Vougeot is famous for. Crafted entirely from destemmed fruit, it offers a particularly supple, polished profile that will appeal to both seasoned collectors and ambitious newcomers to fine Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Clos Vougeot shows a luminous, deep ruby hue that hints at both concentration and finesse. The nose is beautifully expressive, opening with sweet red raspberries and ripe plum, then unfolding into rose petals, a twist of orange peel and a subtle, smoky, vinous note that anchors the wine in its Burgundian roots. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, layered and generously fruited, with a silky, almost velvety texture. Sweet, fine-grained tannins wrap around core flavors of red and dark berries, plum and a gentle floral spice, supported by fresh acidity and a discreet mineral edge. The finish is long and saline, leaving an impression of savory complexity rather than heaviness. While already harmonious in its youth, this 2022 Grand Cru has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years, gaining further nuance and tertiary complexity with time in bottle.

Production
Clos Vougeot is one of Burgundy’s most historic Grand Crus, a walled vineyard (clos) in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, characterized by limestone-rich soils with varying proportions of clay depending on position within the slope. This unique terroir contributes both finesse and power to the Pinot Noir grown here. At Domaine Drouhin-Laroze, fruit is hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully sorted to ensure only the healthiest berries make it into the fermenters. The 2022 Clos Vougeot is vinified from 100% destemmed grapes, emphasizing purity and finesse over rusticity, with a gentle extraction to preserve aroma detail and tannin finesse. Maturation in French oak barrels (including a proportion of new oak) allows the wine to gain texture and complexity, while maintaining the clarity of its fruit and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This Grand Cru red Burgundy pairs beautifully with refined, savory dishes such as roast duck with cherries, lamb rack with herbs, veal in mushroom sauce, or classic Burgundian fare like boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin. It also complements game birds, truffled poultry and aged, nutty cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère. Serve at 15–17°C (59–63°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity and delicate structure. In its youth, decanting for 45–60 minutes is recommended to allow the wine to open fully; with more bottle age, a shorter, gentle decant or simply allowing it to breathe in the glass will be sufficient.
