RATINGS

91-93Vinous / IWC

...has an intense, quite compelling mineral-driven bouquet with shimmering red fruit bursting from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine density, quite a good grip with a lightly spiced, persistent finish.

90-92The Wine Advocate

...lovely, revealing aromas of plums, rose petals, sweet spices, licorice and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated palate framed by lively acids and refined tannins, concluding with a saline finish.

17Jancis Robinson

More poise and restraint and deliciously savoury. There is a depth of fruit, but no excess sweetness. Blood orange again. Evident but discreet firmness in the tannins behind. Very fine indeed.

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.
