The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Clos de Vougeot is a Grand Cru Burgundy from the historic Clos de Vougeot vineyard in France’s Côte de Nuits, produced by the highly regarded Confuron-Cotetidot estate. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the estate’s structured and traditional approach alongside the depth and complexity characteristic of this renowned Grand Cru site. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness and fine acidity, resulting in a wine with both immediate detail and strong long-term ageing potential. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure, balance and length. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and subtle blackcurrant are supported by savoury notes of dried herbs, liquorice, spice and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The clay and limestone-rich soils of Clos de Vougeot contribute depth and mineral precision, while the estate’s low-intervention style preserves the purity of fruit and vineyard expression. The texture is concentrated yet controlled, leading into a long, dry finish with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with structure, depth and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2022 vintage combines concentration with freshness and should evolve beautifully over the next 12–18 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked beef or aged hard cheeses.
