Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017 Domaine Castagnier 75 cl

Description

History

Jérôme Castagnier has established himself as one of Burgundy’s most significant emerging talents, winning the prestigious title “Jeunes Talents de Bourgogne” for two consecutive years. Despite his family origins as a winegrower in Morey-Saint-Denis, Jérôme began his career as a musician, even playing the trumpet for the Republican Guard at the Elysée in Paris.

However, the love for his native land and the passion for viticulture prompted him to return to Burgundy in 2004, to take care of the precious family wine heritage together with his father. After the death of his father in 2012, Jérôme took on the task of enhancing the prestigious family crus, including the Clos de Vougeot, the Clos Saint Denis and the Clos de la Roche.

Jérôme Castagnier’s talent is indisputable and, although he is already established in France, we are sure that he will soon join the select group of the biggest producers in Burgundy. His dedication to enhancing the prestigious family vineyards and his ability to create wines of exceptional depth are a clear sign of his commitment and talent. We can’t wait to discover the marvels that Jérôme will reserve for us in the future and to taste his wines, which will undoubtedly bear witness to his extraordinary journey in Burgundian viticulture.
