RATINGS

93James Suckling

Fragrant nose of black raspberries and summer flowers with a delicate hint of oak. Suave and sophisticated...light on its feet, like a tiny dancer, but held aloft by a very solid support of fine tannins.

91John Gilman

The bouquet is quite classy, delivering scents of cherries, red plums, duck, a nice base of soil tones, mustard seed, Vosne spices, a touch of sweet stem tones and cedar. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with good soil transparency, a solid core, tangy acids, buried tannins and a long, complex and well-balanced finish.

89-90Vinous / IWC

...pretty, floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the open-knit red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and cohesive toward the disarmingly smooth finish.

88-90The Wine Advocate

...exhibits aromas of cassis, sweet berry fruit, exotic spices and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming palate that's bright, precise and penetrating.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, 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.
