A gentle slope faces east to the rising sun .Vinification: The grapes are picked by hand, then sorted, crushed and completely destemmed. Fermentation is started rapidly without prefermentation maceration. Punchingdown, there are no added enzymes or forced heating extraction. Vatting time lasts from 12 to 14 days, then the free-run wine and the first pressing are blended, settled cold, and put in barrels for maturing. Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is matured in oak barrels, 50 % of which are new oak with various origins : the forest of Bertranges – racy but discreet ; Tronçais – more aromatic, and Nevers. The wine is matured from 15 to 18 months, and then bottled without fining and with a very slight filtration.
