Albert Morot Description
The Greeks called the holly “agria” (wild plant). The Romans latinised this into agrifolium, aquifolium. This plot may have been given this name because it was covered by thorny plants before it was planted with vines.
Located next to the famous Clos des Mouches, in the middle of the slope, Les Aigrots faces east.
The stony soil of this vineyard is rich in loams and clay. 75 ares (1.8 acre) produce full-bodied, generous reds, perfect with red meat, either grilled or with a sauce.
Burghound
This is also quite aromatically ripe with its exuberantly spicy purple fruit coulis and earth nuances. The delicious, vibrant and fleshy medium-bodied flavors are rich and suave to the point of opulence that carries over to the sneaky long bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This firmly structured effort could use better depth, but more should reasonably develop if given a chance.
