Nearly 80 percent of the Vougeot commune is given over to the famous Clos de Vougeot Crand Cru, a walled vineyard completed in 1336 by Cistercian monks. This 50 ha plot has several different soil structures, varying in quality. The different plots used to be blended into a complete wine, however there are now over 80 owners, many producing sub standard wine, from the less favoured plots. Good Clos de Vougeot is one of the most complex and richest wines of the Cote d’Or. The Premier Crus account for another 17 or so percent of the commune leaving less than 5 ha for the production of village wines.
Tasting notes: In January 1998, Nicolas began to purchase fruit and post-fermentation lots of wine from prestigious domaines. His own relationships with growers and the legacy of his father helped open doors to some of the greatest domaines, even those who normally sell little or nothing except under their own label. As early as 2000, Clive Coates MW was writing that Nicolas "was already a super-star".
