Andy's Pick

We dads want to know that our kids are smart and savvy and paying attention to the details and for the Burgundy dads this wine shows that. Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru and all the wines are not as universally as fine. The vines for this old vine bottling of Clos Vougeot are located in lieu-dit Les Grand Maupertuis from vines that are nearly 100 years old. Here soils are thin, closer to the “mother rock” of Burgundian limestone. Aromas of earth, baking spices, red and black berries. Fine-grained tannins; structured, earthy, profound. Delicious and a smart buy that shows you're astute father's day shopper.
