Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2009 — Hubert de Montille

This Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2009 from Domaine Hubert de Montille, offered here in magnum 1.5 L, embodies a noble, broad and profoundly classical expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. From one of Burgundy’s most historic Grand Crus, this wine combines fruit depth, terroir structure and the generosity of a solar vintage: black cherry, Morello cherry, ripe raspberry, fine cassis, red plum, old rose, violet, fine spices, black tea, light liquorice, delicate forest floor, noble earth, fine leather and a long mineral finish.

Domaine Hubert de Montille is one of Burgundy’s great historic names, recognised for wines of precision, poise and strong ageing capacity. Clos de Vougeot is distinguished by its powerful, structured and earthy character, capable of combining density, noble tannins and aromatic complexity. The 2009 vintage, ripe, generous and charming, brings richness, flesh and fruit brilliance, while the magnum format encourages slower evolution, better preservation of freshness and a particularly sought-after collector dimension.

Terroir: Clos de Vougeot, historic depth and Côte de Nuits structure

Clos de Vougeot is one of Burgundy’s most emblematic climats, with a mosaic of soils combining clay, limestone, marl and stony elements. This diversity gives Pinot Noirs that are often structured, profound and long-lasting, capable of developing complex notes of black fruit, spice, earth, fine leather and forest floor with time.

At de Montille, Clos de Vougeot translates into a wine that is straight, dense and classical, where the richness of the vintage remains framed by terroir precision and the finesse of ageing. In 2009, ripeness reinforces breadth, depth and fruit charm, while the structure of the Grand Cru preserves relief, balance and ageing potential. In magnum, this architecture evolves more slowly, preserving the wine’s freshness and nobility.

Tasting notes

Nose: deep, ripe and refined, with black cherry, Morello cherry, ripe raspberry, fine cassis, red plum, small red and black fruits, old rose, violet, fine spices and black tea. With aeration, nuances of delicate forest floor, noble earth, bark, fine leather, light cocoa, light liquorice, sweet pepper, discreet truffle and smoky notes may appear.

Palate: broad, velvety, fresh and solidly structured, with ripe fruit carried by noble tannic architecture and persistent mineral tension. Flavours of black cherry, Morello cherry, raspberry, cassis, red plum, rose, violet, fine spices, black tea, fine earth and delicate leather unfold with depth and precision. The finish is long, lightly saline, spicy and mineral, with an impression of controlled power, velvet and great Burgundian nobility.

Expression of the 2009 vintage

The 2009 vintage in Burgundy produced Pinot Noirs that are ripe, generous and charming, marked by fine fruit richness, broad textures and a solar expression. On a structured Grand Cru such as Clos de Vougeot, this ripeness translates into a dense, profound and enveloping wine, balanced by terroir power and a persistent mineral frame.

Today, this Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2009 from Domaine Hubert de Montille in magnum can offer fine complexity after measured aeration, while retaining a structure that remains present. With time, it gains nuances of forest floor, black tea, fine leather, discreet truffle, melted spices, noble earth and smoky notes, while preserving fruit depth and the length typical of great Côte de Nuits wines.
