Clos Marey-Monge Grands Esprits 2019

  • Known for giving body and structure to our Clos Marey-Monge Monopole, our Grands Esprits plot makes Pommard of great quality and structure. With its ruby, violet-tinted color and its expressive nose marked by aromas of ripe black fruit, rose and sweet spices, it stands out as a generous and robust wine. A long and mineral finish brings a touch of elegance to this complex cuvée.
