Goedhuis, August 2018
Benjamin bought this tiny plot in a deal over some Clos de Vougeot in 2011. What he thought was just a spare part has turned out to be one of his favourite village cuvées, and he says the most consistent performer in his cellar. This is bright, vibrant, with a firm but fruity backbone. 2013s are, as we keep saying, drinking so well at the moment, particularly at the Côte de Nuits village level.

Goedhuis, January 2015
Brilliantly open with vibrant red fruit characteristics. This is a wonderfully pleasing style, full of charm and vibrant red fruits. It is lovely and ample on the finish.

Region
Vougeot
Unlike the other predominant Côte de Nuits appellations, Vougeot's main appellation is its onlygrand cru vineyard, Clos de Vougeot. It is by far the largest grand cru of the area totalling over 50 hectares with over 40 owners rumoured to own vines. As a result, its vineyards run from the flat, clay-dominated valley floor to the well-drained, venerated sloped hillsides suggesting that its quality ending on where it is grown. As a result, it is often the least valued of the grand crus and can offer excellent value, particularly in good vintages where ripeness has been attained.
