What makes this wine especially compelling is the domaine’s parcel, which bridges both the lower and upper parts of Clos de Vougeot, combining generous fruit with the firm structure and depth that define the site at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows the dark, polished character you would expect from a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The nose opens with a layered mix of wild red and black berries, lifted by subtle herbal notes and, with air, hints of chocolate that add depth and refinement.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is powerful yet never rustic, with a robust core, fine texture and a long, elegant finish. With age, its youthful fruit is expected to evolve toward more complex aromas of light tobacco and tea, making this a wine with excellent aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos de Vougeot is a terroir of rare complexity, and Domaine Clos Frantin’s holding is particularly distinctive because it spans both the lower and upper sections of the vineyard. This allows the wine to capture the ripeness and fruit-driven character of the lower slopes alongside the structure and precision associated with the higher parts. The estate works with organic-certified vineyards, replacing chemical fertilizers and herbicides with compost and ploughing, while strict pruning keeps yields low and quality high. The wine is transferred by gravity and matured for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, selected from different origins and toast levels to bring subtle, well-integrated complexity rather than overt oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a natural match for refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, venison, game birds, mushroom risotto, or braised beef with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses that can stand up to its structure. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for about 1 hour is recommended, especially in its youth, to allow the wine to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Clos Frantin is one of the key domaines under Albert Bichot, whose family-owned house was established in 1831 and is now led by sixth-generation winemaker Albéric Bichot. Since taking over in 1996, he has expanded the estate’s holdings across some of Burgundy’s most prized terroirs, with over 100 hectares spread through Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Beaujolais. The domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges is known for its careful, low-intervention approach, allowing the wines to express the character of each village and climactic site with clarity and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Albert Bichot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122474098930,"sku":"FW-7839","price":267.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/clos_de_vougeot_frantin_1.png?v=1777476210","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/domaine-clos-frantin-clos-de-vougeot-grand-cru-2017","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
