RATINGS

96+ Stephen Tanzer

Superripe aromas of cassis, bitter chocolate, peony, Oriental spices and new oak. Dense, chewy and tactile...crunchy fruit flavors of raspberry and black cherry... Finishes very long and powerful...

93-94The Wine Advocate

Lily-like, decadent floral perfume, cassis, framboise, holly berry, and mint hover spirituously over the glass. Vanilla and resin hints for the (100%) new wood mingle with liqueur-like black fruits as well as pungently invigorating red currant and dried cranberry...with chalk, stone, salt, and iodine all serving to set-off the wine’s candied yet acidulated fruit character.

92Burghound.com

An exceptionally pretty and perfumed nose features notes of spice, dried flowers and sandalwood along with both red and dark currant scents. There is excellent richness to the caressing medium-bodied and overtly mineral-driven flavors that culminate in a delicious, complex, balanced and lengthy finish that still exhibits a touch of austerity.

...lovely silky texture. Obviously great class of fruit – real density yet a certain irresistible flirtatiousness. Bitter cherry flavours...

REGION

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

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, 1er (Premier) Cru

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.
