The Vieilles Vignes comes from a selection of the oldest vines in the Clos, mostly planted in 1910 and situated mid-slope, right in the heart of the vineyard. These ancient vines yield only two to three tiny bunches of grapes per vine in a good year. The net result is a Clos de Vougeot of unique intensity, breadth of flavour, complexity and structural power. Interestingly, there are a number of Pinot Beurot (Gris) vines inter-planted in these parcels which are harvested and vinified with the Pinot Noir.

Domaine Dujac has always held a dear spot in Australian hearts. Established in 1967 with an inaugural release in the disastrous 1968 vintage, the estate has incorporated a slew of increasingly prestigious holdings over the years, while becoming a home-away-from home for many Australian trainees, some among our most illustrious craftspeople. Its forward-thinking, international air-a rarity in what can be a sternly parochial region-is manifest in the Domaine’s full embrace of organic viticulture. Like DRC, Dujac is a strong advocate of the inclusion of whole-bunches in the fermentations, although the approach is more flexible than in the past depending on the degree of lignification. Among Burgundy’s upper tier, the Morey Saint Denis is benchmark: plump, succulent and more Chambolle red fruited than Gevrey-meaty.

The Moillard Grivot Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2020 is a stunning representation of the renowned terroir of Burgundy, France. This vintage showcases a vibrant ruby red color, with aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and subtle hints of spice and oak.

Notes of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, are accompanied by a touch of earthiness, creating a complex and harmonious flavor profile. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delightful aftertaste of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla. This wine is a true reflection of Moillard-Grivot's expertise and dedication to producing exceptional Burgundy wines. Enjoy now or cellar for further aging potential.
