Sourced from a tiny 0.37-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines, this wine is farmed with meticulous care (fully certified organic as of late 2025). While the village and premier crus from Billaud-Simon are mostly stainless steel, 'Les Clos' receives a more \"Burgundian\" treatment with roughly \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"322\"\u003e35% fermented and aged in older oak barrels\u003c\/b\u003e for 15–18 months.
