Clos de Vougeot (vieux cep)
Clos de Vougeot
also: Кло-де-Вужо-вье-сеп, Clos de Vougeot vieux cep
A prestigious Burgundy red wine appellation; one of the name-dropped vintages the passenger rattles off, 'vieux cep' ('old vine') adding a further, mangled flourish of expertise.
Reading notes
- In the Railway Carriage §7 Clos de Vougeot vieux cep, or perhaps Clos du Roi Corton
Two real Burgundy appellations rattled off together; 'vieux cep' ('old vine') is an extra flourish of jargon meant to signal expertise the speaker turns out not to have earned by any elevated station.
