Bouchard Pere et Fils, Monthelie 1er Cru "Clos Les Champs Fulliot", Domaine
An expressive single vineyard Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Clos Les Champs Fulliot offers limestone rich soils with minerality and nice drainage, along with a southeasterly aspect capturing the longest exposure to the morning sun. This terroir is effectively an extension of the vineyard’s famous and more expensive neighbour, Volnay Clos des Chenes. As a result, the aromatics are bright and ripe-fruited with the tannins for proper aging. This vineyard was cited as a “Tête de cuvée” in the 1855 book by Dr Lavalle, but it can’t command the price of its Volnay neighbours due to its association with the humbler sites in Monthelie. A sweet spot for mid term and immediate enjoyment.
