(2018 Vintage Notes)
Pinot Noir
flagship vintage
treasure
As the sole wine produced by the estate of the same name, the Clos Salomon 1er Cru expresses the fruity and generous character of Pinot Noir. A 12-month aging in oak barrels lends a spicy note to this elegant, supple, and complex cuvée. Intense in color and aroma, and pure in character, this Pinot Noir captivates with its energy, its fresh and velvety mouthfeel, and its density. The estate’s crown jewel.

Burgundy

Grape Varieties

100% Pinot Noir

Regions

Jurassic (Oxfordian) clay-loam soil on colluvial deposits of limestone scree (slopes ranging from 8 to 30%

Viticulture

Reasoned

Grape Harvest

Harvested by hand into 10-kg crates and transported from the vineyard using wheelbarrows to prevent the grapes from being crushed before they reach the winery

Wine Production

The grapes are sorted on a vibrating sorting table, destemmed, and then vinified traditionally in open tanks (4–5 g/hl SO₂). No yeast is added, and the musts undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 to 10 days, for a total fermentation period of 15 to 21 days.

Livestock Farming

The wines are aged in barrels for 12 months on fine lees from alcoholic fermentation and undergo malolactic fermentation in barrels. To preserve the wines’ aromatic profile, aging takes place under reducing conditions on the lees; therefore, no racking is performed.

Rated estate (2021 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Clos Salomon, a 7-hectare estate, has borne the name of its owners since the 14th century and is managed by their descendants, the du Gardin family. Ludovic du Gardin is the steward of this prestigious estate, which he cultivates using organic methods: the vines are meticulously tended without herbicides or insecticides, and the soil is plowed. The wines are aged for 12 months and show good aging potential. In addition to the Clos Salomon, with its distinct terroir, two Chardonnay cuvées are available: a Montagny Le Clou and a Givry Premier Cru La Grande Berge. The estate is one of the few areas to have suffered frost damage in 2017, which resulted in more concentrated wines due to low yields.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

The estate owes its name to the Salomon family, who acquired it in 1538 and passed it on, a little less than a century later, in 1632, to the Gardin de Séveirac family. Since 2016, it has been managed by Ludovic du Gardin. The vineyard consists of a single plot—a historic monopole producing Givry Rouge Premier Cru—supplemented by two Chardonnay parcels: La Grande Berge, a Givry Premier Cru (0.40 hectares), and 2 hectares in Montagny. With low yields, meticulous care, and respect for the soil, every effort is made to bring out the terroirs’ full potential. Once again this year, we commend its consistency.
