2016 Jean-Marie Fourrier Vosne-Romanee Aux Reas Vieilles Vignes

Aux Reas is a small vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is classified as a “villages” vineyard, meaning that it is neither a Grand Cru or Premier Cru. But it is located adjacent to the Grand Cru Clos de Reas.

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.
