Domaine Sainte Madeleine’s Bourgogne Le Clos Rouge is a masterfully crafted testament to the Burgundian Pinot Noir grape. Nestled in the Vézelay area, the vineyard boasts an impressive age of 47 years, featuring the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the region. The grapes, carefully harvested by hand, undergo a meticulous two-week maceration in wooden vats, with fermentation driven by native yeasts to accentuate the innate character of the fruit. Following this, Bourgogne Le Clos gracefully ages for 10 months in 228L second and third-year French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and structure. The wine is a brilliant ruby color, and the nose unfolds with a harmonious blend of red and black fruits alongside floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a beautifully structured profile with supple tannins and a lingering, slightly spicy finish.
