Le Clou is a single vineyard in Nantoux sitting at a precise 377 metres elevation. Its soil is similar to Volnay, with chalky, rocky topsoil over limestone marl bedrock. 90% whole-bunch has been used to great effect here: it has a fine, elegant aroma of maraschino cherries and cinnamon spice, with silky tannins and impressive concentration on the poised finish. 100% 1 year old oak - this is the wine that Boris is making to try and elevate / demonstrate what he is doing in the Hautes-Côtes.
The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Clous 377 offers expressive, almost flamboyant red cherry, crushed strawberry and brown spice scents on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, crunchy opening. It has more backbone and slightly more savory inflections compared to the other two Hautes-Côtes, with a grippier, more austere finish. This should age well in the bottle—a "cool" Hautes-Côtes.
Boris picked one tank on 9th September, when it started to get hot, another on the 16th. 90% whole bunch vinification, but this is very discreet. A slightly deeper purple than Le Bignon. The bouquet is magical, such a classy rendition of pinot fin. The cherry-raspberry-strawberry fruit is very evenly distributed across the palate. What a beautiful aftertaste! 10,000 bottles. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Oct 2024. 5 stars.
