RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

A solid core of cherry, currant and blueberry fruit is shaded by earth, mineral and spice notes in this vibrant red. Balanced and resonant, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg on the extended finish.

92Wine Enthusiast

This well-structured wine shows the combination of rich black fruit and tannins that is the hallmark of this appellation.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Good energy and savour on the nose – proper Vosne! Very smooth already, as though there had been a lot of work on the tannins which make their presence felt, along with the acidity, only on the very end. Crisp and finely etched.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Vosne-Romanee

Vosne-Romanée is the most prestigious appellation in Burgundy. Its 449 acres of vineyards are in and around the village of Vosne-Romanée and they include renowned Grand Cru vineyards which produce some of the world’s most coveted – and costly —wines. The Grands Crus are Richebourg, La Romanée, Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and La Tâche. The Grand Crus Échezeaux and Grands- Échezeaux are actually located in the neighboring village of Flagey-Échezeaux, but legally they can be sold under the Vosne-Romanée appellation. There are also seventeen Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée. Wine writer Clive Coates has called Vosne-Romanée “the greatest Pinot Noir village on earth” and notes that the appellation’s style “is for wines which are rich, austere, sensual, masculine and aristocratic.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, AOC (AC)

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
