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.

Wine Information

2005 Harvest

The making of a vintage is like a voyage, an adventure, whose final destination is unknown. Nature has its own, often capricious, rule. Our only skill is to learn, with humility, to adapt to it.

Written Notes

“...discreet aromas are decidedly more elegant with much more floral influence on the violet and rose petal infused aromas that are nuanced by soy, hoisin and clove notes that can also be found on the muscular, robust and powerful big-bodied flavors that exude dry extract on the detailed and hugely persistent finish.

  • 96p
Purple red with slightly garnet red hue. Clear structure, opulent nose with slightly etherial hints, floral aroma, mild spices, morello cherries and hints of liquorice. On the palate powerful, almost closed character, balanced tannnins an elegant acidity, depth and potential. A wine which opens slowly during the tasting and gives a perspective of an excellent future.
