Gravelly
Cellar
The Domaine was born after the marriage in 1926 of Jean Confuron de Vosne and Anne-Marie Bouchard de Premeaux, from the vineyards they both inherited. Together, they acquired more and began selling their wine in bottles in the early 1930s.
In 1988, Alain and Sophie Meunier began managing the Domaine that belonged to Jean Jacques Confuron, Sophie's father. In order to respect the typicality of each terroir as much as possible, the vineyard has been managed only with natural products since 1990. Some small vines have been worked with horses since 2003, a slow and costly process, but one that ultimately respects the soil in order to favour aeration and micro-oxygenation. Today, Domaine Jean Jacques Confuron represents traditional wines through a profound knowledge of biodynamics with the help of which it obtains 'Terroir' wines, elegant and with great potential.
Description
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Jean-Jacques Confuron 2018 is an outstanding wine made from pinot noir grapes from the Clos Vougeot vineyard, one of the most famous grand crus in the Côte de Nuits sub-region in northern Burgundy. This is an excellent red wine that is harmonious, persistent, structured, rightly acidic and has a distinctly noble Clos Vougeot style. It is a wine that ages very well, even for decades.
Organoleptic characteristics:
