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: 88 Points
A ripe and attractively perfumed nose combines notes of earth with those of red berries and a touch of spice. The plump, round and delicious middle weight flavors possess good volume before firming up moderately on the lingering, balanced and mildly rustic finale. This is a wine that could easily be enjoyed young or aged for a few years first.
