Situation

Level

AOC Grand cru

Grape variety

Pinot noir

Vosne-Romanée is a famed village in the Côte de Nuits, owed to a great extent by the 6 Grand Crus that hail from this legendary terroir! It was the monks from the Saint-Vivant abbey, located near Vergy in the Hautes-Côtes, who cultivated the plots here nearly 1000 years ago. This mythical climat lies just below Romanée-Conti.

Tasting

The nose, which features notes of stewed fruits, nutmeg and leather, testifies to the sophistication and subtlety that the Pinot Noir grape can express when grown in Burgundy's finest Climats. This wine boasts power, yet is smooth and delicate with complex substance and elegant robustness. The finish is exceptionally long... this is a truly great wine.

Recipe suggestion: beef tournedos Rossini
