Domaine du Cellier Aux Moines Description
The Cellier aux Moines is the renaissance of one of the oldest domaines in Burgundy, in Givry, known as a Cistercian Cellier surrounded by its Clos since 1130. The Clos du Cellier aux Moines is a Premier Cru Classé in Givry which today covers 13 hectares (32 acres). The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines owns 5 hectares (12 acres) of perfectly oriented Premier Cru planted around the original Cellier. Just above the Clos du Cellier, it owns another small Clos of 27 ares (two thirds of an acre) surrounded by thick walls, which had been left fallow since the phylloxera crisis. Replanted in 2010, it was named Clos Pascal.
In 2015, Guillaume Marko joined the Domaine as head of vineyards and winemaking. Holding a DNO (diplôme national d’œnologie) from Dijon University, Guillaume trained during few years in famous wine estates of Côte de Nuits.
Burghound: 92 Points
A decidedly more floral-suffused nose grudgingly reveals a spicy mix of red and dark berries, newly turned earth and a smoky hint. There is more volume, richness and mid-palate density to the medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the firm, mildly austere and compact finale that exhibits excellent persistence. This is lovely and sufficiently tightly wound to warrant at least a decade of keeping yet it should be approachable after only 5 to 7. Well-worth considering.
