Pierre Gelin Clos Napoleon Fixin 1er Cru 2018
The Clos Napoleon, a parcel previously registered as “Aux Cheuzots”, owes its name to its owner at the time Claude Noisot, an Officer in the Imperial Guard. Claude Noisot, who accompanied Napoleon to the Island of Elba and wished to pay homage to his emperor, commissioned the sculptor Rude from Dijon to create a statue to be erected in the Noisot Park. The label of Clos Napoleon is a reproduction of this sculpture named “Le Réveil de Napoléon” (The Awakening of Napoleon).

Colour

Carmine red colour of moderate intensity.

Bouquet

The nose is elegant and subtle, more flowery (violets) than fruity.

Flavour

In the mouth, a flowery and finely minty attack gives an immediate sensation of freshness. A crispness of stone fruits then dominates the middle of the mouth. But the charm of this vintage comes from its exceptional aromatic purity: raspberries, cherries and liquorice compose an unequalled harmonious bouquet.

Pairing

Goes well with: navarin of lamb, braised ham, duck.
