Roadside Terroir

S2E8: Grands Crus and Grands Vignerons


Listen Later

In this episode we continue our journey through the Grand Cru Territory of the Côte de Nuits--guided by some of the biggest names in the business. We focus on the world-renowned villages of Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, and Morey-Saint-Denis. Throughout the episode we focus on the personal connections between these incredible individuals and the famous plots of land they call home.

We begin by discussing the history of the Cistercian monks in the famed Clos de Vougeot, and attempt to discover the truth behind these legends as we walk through one grand cru after another. The episode concludes as we contemplate the metaphorical Cistercian influence in the wines themselves–how to find beauty in space, stillness, and simplicity.

Thank you to our guests: Marie-Andrée and Marie-Christine Mugneret, Jean-Nicolas Méo, Charles Lachaux, Jeremy Seysses, Cyprien Arlaud, and Fred Mugnier. And to Paul Wasserman and  Daniel Johnnes for their commentary and expertise. 

This episode was created by Brenna Quigley, Nick Canepa, and Jeff Alvarez. With support from Esa Eslami, Ali Massie, and our Grand Cru Patron Steven Lipin.
