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...

Vintage 2002

2002 VINTAGE in Burgundy

A Great Year 

The trade is unanimous: the harvest was exceptional and 2002 is destined to be a great vintage for Burgundy. A dry summer, a sunny September, splendid grapes with highly concentrated sugars - everything came together to produce structured and complex wines with outstanding aromatic potential.
As early as the beginning of September, the sugar content in the grapes was often at exceptionally high lev...

Written Notes

This took some time to open up and reveal its glories but when it did, we were all in awe. I guess we should not have been – a great vintage, perhaps the greatest producer and one of the great vineyards. If that doesn’t mean something special, what does? I suspect that the fact that GE is seen as not at the top of the DRC tree, we forget just how brilliant they can be. A wonderfully seductive wine, soft and supple yet immaculate structure. An amazing combination of power, grace and subtlety. Game notes, animal skins, five-spice and florals touches. Some liqueur cherry notes. This was classic DRC and just stunning. Complexity, power, length and yet still seemingly youthful. A wine that appears to time travel.

“It is immediately evident that this is a deeper and finer wine than the EÉchézeaux as there is another dimension here with sweet, pure and classic pinot fruit aromas en- hanced by subtle nuances of floral flower notes, damp earth, underbrush and even a hint of game. The big, muscular but utterly refined flavors are superbly intense, reserved and backward supported by remarkably sophis- ticated tannins and stunning length. This is a very con-centrated wine of real breed and impeccable balance that should age for 3 decades, perhaps longer.”(93pts BH)
