Clerget cultivates just over one-third of a hectare of the rarely seen Vosne-Romanee “Les Violettes” located just below Echezeaux, next to the wall of the Clos de Vougeot, on the Vosne side. The Vosne vineyard next to Violettes is Baisses Maizieres. The vines here were planted in 1945-46.
Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from .50 ha parcel planted in 1946; Les Violettes abuts Clos de Vougeot). I very much like the inner mouth perfume emitted by the round, lilting and very supple flavors that possess good vibrancy that carries over to the mildly austere and slightly firmer finale. The middle palate is quite pliant yet the finish suggests that this will need at least a few years of patience first. (Jan 2019)"
