GEOLOGY: The Grand Clos Rousseau "climat" rests on a JURASSIC bedrock, a true sedimentary mosaic inherited from the marine era. Here, the Pinot Noir is cultivated on the BAJOCIAN (clay-limestone) stage, in the lower part of the plot. This sector is characterized by a longer growing cycle than in Chassagne-Montrachet. This slow maturation promotes optimal berry concentration, producing a well-structured, powerful wine whose tannic backbone reflects the nobility of its soil.
