Clos Marey-Monge Grands Esprits 2020

Known for giving body and structure to our Clos Marey-Monge Monopole, our Grands Esprits plot makes a Pommard of great quality and structure. With its purple-tinted, dark ruby color and its expressive nose marked by aromas of ripe black fruit, it stands out as a generous and robust wine. The tannins are dense and velvety. A long and slighlty salty finish brings a touch of elegance to this complex cuvée.

The 4.81-hectare plot of Grands Esprits has large, round, rocky, limestone-rich soils planted between 1970 and 1980. It produces a linear Pinot Noir with firm tannins and potential for long aging. Occupying almost one-quarter of our vineyard’s overall area, the 220 rows of Grands Esprits is the most calcareous area in the Clos Marey-Monge.
