Clos St. Marc is the smallest Monopole vineyard in Nuits St. Georges. Being a Monopole vineyard means that there is only one owner. The vineyard is located in Premeaux, right next to Rion's estate and is largely enclosed by the 1st cru vineyard Argilieres, but Clos St. Marc has deeper soil and produces more powerful wines. Clos St. Marc is some of the finest Nuits St. Georges you can find - especially if you like Rion's airy style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vines on the field, which is just under one hectare in size, are approximately 60 years old.
