The Story

Lying between Flagey-Échezeaux (home of the ÉCHEZEAUX appellation) and Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée occupies a middle position in the Côte de Nuits. The vines grow at altitudes of 250 to 310 metres and face east or, in some cases, slightly south of east. Vosne-Romanée, the central jewel in the necklace of appellations which is the burgundian côte, is not content with holding a mere four aces but boasts a total of six Grands Crus, each on...

2006 Harvest

A vigneron's challenge again !

At the time of this writing, the vineyards, relieved of their fruit, have begun to change colour. The soft October sun is caressing the red and gold hills. The villages are quiet again after the hubbub of the harvest. The streets are filled with generous fragrances coming from the wineries where fermentations are proceeding. The birth of this new vintage is a real pleasure to the senses !

Vintage 2006

2006 VINTAGE in Burgundy

The personality of Burgundy wines makes the difference

A charmer. Such is the epithet most frequently employed when Burgundy's newest vintage is evoked. Nearly two months after the grape harvest, and following a year typified by rather fantastical weather, Burgundy is finally catching its breath. The 2006 vintage, a preoccupying one which never allowed an idle moment, both in the vineyards and in the cellars, exc...

Written Notes

Medium-intense, ruby colour. Intense but partly closed nose still shows complex aromas of brambles, ginger, roasted sesame seeds, vanilla, chocolate, and cappuccino aromas. Elegant but firm palate. Tight, polished tannins. Fresh fruitiness of ripe wild strawberries and brambles. Long yet closed finish shows some floral flavours. Not a wine to drink now.

Light ruby. Juicy and fun. A bit less concentrated than the Dugat Py, Tache and Rousseau Chambertins tasted alongside. More youthful. More of a dance.

“As it usually is relative to the Echézeaux, the restrained nose is distinctly more reserved but classier with a won- derfully intense and layered nose that is more floral still while offering up a variety of spice notes, including an- ise, clove and soy that can also be found on the pure and sleekly muscled flavors that possess real drive, indeed this does a slow but sure build from the mid-palate on through the explosive finish.”(94pts BH)

Rich concentration of Red fruit characters, amazing bouquet of rose petals and violet notes bring extreme freshness on the nose, the high acidity and medium plus tannin, makes this wine outstanding and shows great portential to go long way.

2006 GRANDS ECHEZEAUX GRAND CRU This is open, parfumed and shines with dark berry fruit that’s wrapped around the typical Grands Echezeaux herbal notes, violets, spice and just the right amount of oak and earthy notes. With air more gamey notes appear. Quite full and concentrated palate with very focused, silky and pure dark berry fruit, wild strawberries, game meat, spice, oak, herbal notes and minerals. Starts big but balances out with acidity and gets tight and restrained on the finish. Needs time. 92p. Drink 2016-2028
