2013 Jean-Marc Millot, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Grand Maupertui

Domaine Jean-Marc Millot has been producing estate-bottled wines since 1992, with the family legacy rooted in a deep understanding of their Côte de Nuits vineyard holdings. This specific wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in the "Grand Maupertui" section of the Clos de Vougeot, where vines average over 50 years of age in clay-limestone soils. On the palate, it reveals earthy notes of red currant and sauvage spice, balanced by a medium-weight structure and a lingering, velvety finish. The 2013 vintage provided a cool, challenging growing season that resulted in a precise, fresh wine with notable tension and clarity. With its fine balance and established pedigree, this bottle is well-suited for immediate enjoyment or further time in the cellar.
