VOSNE-ROMANEE

Colour: Dark purple.

Bouquet: Powerful, with aromas of small ripe red and black berries, spices, pepper, notes of leather, earth, toasted notes, vanilla, of incredible complexity.

Palate: The structure is beautiful, touching the perfect balance. Rich, full-bodied, racy, powerful, opulent, charming, fruity, its tannins bring a velvety side. This wine promises a great potential and a very good ability to aging with its liquorice, fruity notes and tannins elegantly present.

Will be the perfect companion to powerful meat dishes such as jugged venison or a rib of beef. It also goes very well with elegant dishes such as a light chicken stew, venison fillet, lamb and all traditionnal cheese.

Serve ideally at around 14-16°C (57-60°F).

100% Pinot Noir.

Vosne-Romanée is the appellation to the south of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, whose grands crus include the most fabulous and famous of wines: Romanée Conti, La Tâche, Romanée Saint-Vivant… It is probably in this Burgundian village that Pinot Noir fully expresses its most beautiful attributes. The vineyards of Vosne-Romanée, just to the north of the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges, cover an area of 165 hectares.

Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted once at the vineyard and then at the wineries as soon as they arrive. After this severe sorting, they are destemmed, crushed and then placed into thermo-regulated tanks. The vatting lasts from 20 to 25 days. The vinification begins with a cold maceration (8°-10°C) for 5 to 6 days, then the fermentation is carried out with the introduction of Burgundy yeasts, with daily pumping over and punching down. The ageing continues in 228 litres barrels, of which about 30% new barrels for 12 to 15 months.
