The Petit Maupertuis lieu-dit lies on the Flagey-Echézeaux side of Vougeot, just below Grands Echézeaux. Domaine François Lamarche and members of the Gros family also farm vines in this terrific terroir. It consistently produces a Clos de Vougeot with far greater finesse than is usually associated with this historic site. This wine comes from a 0.15-hectare parcel of old vines (60 years) situated right beside the wall of the clos. Like last year, the wine was vinified with 80% bunches and raised in a single new 450-litre barrel previously used to ferment the whites.

Reviews

“Production is one 450-litre barrel, new wood but tamed by being used to ferment white wine first. Fresh mid purple, with a pure clean bouquet, plenty of energy not so much detail. Very good tension, pure red fruit, more raspberry than strawberry, with just a little tannic structure. This is looking impressive in its youth.”
94-97 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
