The 2013 Clos Vougeot “Hommage à Jean Morin” is a special cuvée introduced by François in 2010 to honor his grandfather. While it wasn’t produced in 2011, it has been crafted in 2012 and 2013. Sourced from old vines, specifically from the first bunches after grafting that receive the initial sap flow, this cuvée is incredibly rare, with only two barrels produced in this vintage. It presents a distinct aromatic profile compared to the Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes, showcasing vibrant red fruit notes of red cherries, quince, and blueberry. The palate is medium-bodied with assertive tannins, delivering a powerful expression with hints of dark chocolate and cocoa enhancing the dark fruit flavors that linger on the finish.
