2019 Confuron-Cotetidot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

The 2019 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 respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the estate’s traditional and structured winemaking style alongside the depth and complexity associated with one of Burgundy’s most recognised Grand Cru sites. The 2019 vintage delivered excellent fruit concentration balanced by freshness, resulting in a wine with both power and refinement. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry and plum alongside notes of violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm but finely integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure and longevity. Flavours of red and dark berry fruits are supported by savoury notes of dried herbs, liquorice, spice and delicate oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone and clay-rich soils of Clos de Vougeot contribute depth and mineral precision, while the estate’s restrained approach preserves vineyard expression and balance. The texture is concentrated yet controlled, leading into a long, dry finish marked by lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a structured, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with depth and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2019 vintage combines richness with freshness and will continue to 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.
