Food Matching
Maison Louis Jadot "Clos Vougeot" will accompany "haute cuisine" dishes. With
its delicate yet powerful aromas, one would choose red meat, roasted or served
with a sauce, roasted pheasant, leg of wild boar or venison and ripe cheeses
which are not too strong : Camembert, Brillat-Savarin, Citeaux.
Region Notes
The village of Vougeot is in the centre of the Côte de Nuits, flanked on the
north by Chambolle Musigny and on the south by Flagey Echezeaux and Vosne
Romanée.
The 50 ha vineyard faces the east. The geological composition ranges from chalky
stoney clay, on the higher parts of the slope, to moist, compact soil richer in
humus and with fewer stones on the lower slopes.
