Le Clos de Beaujeu is one of Boulay’s ‘blue-blood’ historic sites. Boulay farms two parcels in this terroir, including one within the original Clos of this vineyard, established by the monks of Beaujeu in the Middle Ages. This parcel is historically known as Le Grand Clos. For this reason, Boulay names this wine Clos de Beaujeu rather than the more ubiquitous Cul de Beaujeu. Two south-east facing plots make the Clos de Beaujeu the source of some of the domaine’s most structured and nervy wines. This cuvée is naturally fermented and raised in large, upright cask (60%) and three- and four-year-old 300-litre barrels (40%) for 10 months.
