Clos Vougeot question

[Gerhard_P]

There is no such thing as 1er cru from Clos de Vougeot. All clos de Vougeot is grand cru. Vougeot 1er cru is outside Clos de Vougeot on Vougeot commune outside the walls.

Antoine,

I don’t think that’s true. I believe a wine from grapes planted exclusively in Clos de Vougeot can be labled Vougeot 1er Cru if A. The producer chooses to (not sure why they would) B. It is made with disallowed grapes for the Grand Cru AOC C. It is made with higher yields, lower potential acohol or younger vine age than allowed in the AOC (most likely).

I could be wrong though, this is not my area of expertise.

Antoine is right: CLOS DE … is Grand Cru … Vougeot (without Clos de …) is Village or 1er Cru.
There is also a Vougeot 1er Cru “Clos blanc” …
